[BITList] A win for the masses

[John Feltham]

Absolute Governmental Authority
================================

The Ministry for Water representative stopped at a farm and spoke with  
an old farmer.

He told the farmer, "I need to inspect your farm for your water  
allocation."

The old farmer said, "Okay, but don't go in that field over there."

The Water representative said, "Mister, I have the authority of the  
Government with me.

See this card? The card means I am allowed to go WHEREVER I WISH on  
any agricultural land. No questions asked or answered.
Have I made myself clear? Do you understand?"

The old farmer nodded politely and went about his work.

Later, the old farmer heard loud screams and saw the Water Rep running  
for the fence and close behind was the farmer's bull.

The bull was gaining on the Water Rep with every step.

The Rep was clearly terrified, so the old farmer immediately threw  
down his tools, ran to the fence and shouted out....."Your card! Your  
card! Show him your card!"

If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door.
