Survival Problem: Filling Out Forms By Hal Boyle
New York based columnist Hal Boyle argues that government forms threaten civilization more than floods or atomic fire. He jokes that almost every life event requires forms from birth to death, noting doctors sign birth and death certificates while citizens must endure forms for jobs, taxes, housing, travel, and even weddings. The piece blends satire with a survey of pervasive bureaucratic paperwork.
