I'd risk my personal safety to protect the lives of my neighbors, but
never my freedom. If that makes me a "selfish *******" than so be it.

Besides your logic here is severly flawed. In this case the little
freedom given up, and the burden placed on those giving instruction,
will not save one single life, unless you count the life of the paper
pushing bureocrat charged with auditing all of the flight instructors
records, that takes advantage of his tax payer paid health plan.

Do not forget the addage that if you make enough laws, everyone becomes
a criminal. Then when you're in power, you get to lock up whoever you
so choose.

I don't have a pass port and I really don't want to have to carry my
Birth Certificate with me on every vacation, or trip where I "might"
want to go flying with somebody else's airplane, or get a checkout.

Actually there are still those with no birth certificate. My dad
didn't have one. All he had was an affidavit that said he had been
born in Michigan. He didn't get that until he was near 40.

So don't give them a copy of your birth certificate. Give them a copy of your
passport.
