Divinest Sense

Did you know that we have secret laws and regulations in this country? I wish I could tell you more, so that you can avoid breaking them, but since they are secret, I’m afraid I don’t know what they are. Except that apparently one of them is that a government-issued ID is, in fact, required to board an airplane, even though that law is not on the books anywhere. Kevin Drum is following the story. I guess these laws were passed by the secret congress of the shadow government. Which was elected by the shadow citizenry, I presume. But waitaminute, I learned in my fancy private school that we, the non-secret American people, *are* the government, and *we* pass the laws through our elected representatives. I better write to Miss Roberts about this one, she may want to change her curriculum for 4th grade social studies.
