Why do we keep getting pictures of a thing, rather than the thing itself?
The State of Washington sent me a copy of mine. I can lay it on the table and let you look at it.
Why won’t he do the same for the “Journolists”? But they don’t care, they would rather see what he gave them. lap dogs.
It's a mixed bag out there. Don't think that because it's done one way in your state it's done the same in other states, or even in different parts of your state.
Over the years I've been able to visit the printing/mailing operations of a good number of state governments.
Although mailing is pretty important stuff for governments that do business by mail, they never pony up the money for good systems so they are always in trouble with the post office.
Hawaii has a different reputation. The equipment and systems are good. You don't speak the local creole the employees will treat you like a stranger. Really bizarre social scene there.
Given that we are up against one of two scenarios ~ (1) That we are up against some master forgers who are only a step or two ahead of us, if that much. Or, (2) That we are up against the reality of 1961, which is just before a major period of advancement in the production of printed/photographed documents ~ so nothing we commonly do today was done then. They did something else and most of us are simply too young to know about it.
