The writer rails against the 1978 Census of Veterinary and Animal Services form 78-A40B noting its absurd questions and checks. He imagines a private checks-and-bureaucracy agency to counter government complexity and cites Common Cause. The piece ends with a provocative comparison to Marie Antoinette.
