Coming from a military background, I'm all about rules and regulations! If anyone other than the 'legal' aformentioned asks to see it, I'll be telling them to go pound sand. I could, however, show it to them and be on my way.....But

For me it's about the principle of the matter....What makes people these days think that they are special or hold some position of power (whether it may be a small amount) to question someone because they feel that they can?


Note: Power and authority are two different things.....Authority is just power that is legitimized.
