And now, for your dancing pleasure: Sovereign citizen idiocy!

I think we all deserve a break from the election, so I present to you an article that appeared in my newspaper:

http://cdapress.com/news/local_news/article_1dc11a47-6afe-5fe6-b9a9-eb94a480c5d0.html

I'll answer the obvious question first: Like everywhere else in North Idaho, there is lead in the water in Athol - lots of it.

Anyway, here's the story: One of the local sovereign citizens decided to exert his "God-given right to travel without government interference" and let his car's registration and insurance lapse - but kept on driving it. The state fined him $200 for that and, after he refused to pay the fine, pulled his driver's license. So, naturally, he's suing the worker bee who did it for $6,689,940, payable in gold or silver (because currency is debt) - but he's doing it under Mosaic Law, which says...well, I'm going to copy-and-paste:

(The sovereign citizen) asserts that if he prevails in the suit, Mosaic law dictates that all damages must be paid in 30 days, or (the Idaho Transportation Department employee) would be required to forfeit all of the assets he and his family own and his family members and their descendants would be held as bond servants — each paying 20 percent of their monthly income to him — until the debt is finally settled in full.

The comments are a hoot...even the Republicans around here think this guy is full of shit.
