    This one is so chock full of “information” about what they think is going on that I can’t respond to the multiple things that I found interesting. The fact that they think Egyptian and Roman scribes from the ancient world have anything to do with how our legal system works is quite enlightening, though. The possibility of a continuation of a position across all those years and multiple civilizations right up to present day without changing its imbued powers? Classic!

    Ironically blue ink (and I’m guessing purple, due to the amount of blue) is used on documents to prevent certain kinds of forgery, so they’re extra-confirming they signed the paper saying they didn’t actually sign the paper. But… you know.

      ‘If you sign a driving citation with blue or purple ink and write ‘without prejudice’ on it, and get it notarized and send it in to the courts, then the court clerk will have to dismiss your case. Because the notary has supreme legal power since there were notaries in Rome and Ancient Egypt.’

    Corporate regulation? What the hell are you on about?

    Feel free not to sign the ticket and get arrested instead. You really don’t need to agree.
