The idea of being a blank is appealing, but how many of the world's sheep are
going to follow through?   If not enough, you gain little.

If too many, the powerful forces against you will lobby for anti-blank laws.
It is already against the law to lie in the process of a commercial transaction.
Nobody would think of enforcing it now for stupid lies that gain you nothing,
but who knows?  Your enemies are rich and powerful, and the government *can*
be bought.  Never forget that.
