Causes me to recall the story told by one of our missionaries to the Philipines and his struggle to get a driver's license. He went to the agency much like our DPS and was to ppay the fellow in the room an amount and he would take the test for him. He refused at first taking the test himself. Being a bright fellow he knew he had put down the correct answers and was shocked when the lady at the desk made a big red X-mark across the page. On questioning she pointed to the fellow in the room and the missionary knew what she meant. So, he did the only thing available to him and sadly paid up. He found the same situation at the visa office. Pay up or go home to America were the choices that confronted him. All this is technically illegal of course and all done completely shamelessly in the open. Are we headed in the same direction? I must wonder considering the results of this book.
