Don't be so hard on Sly
His safety might be more important than yours, after all when the next election heats up we'll all be sitting by our TV's waiting to hear the political insights of Brittany Spears, Keneau Reeves, Bono - and of course ol' SLY.
Another reason why he needs that permit more than you do is - he's out buying and using illegal drugs, crossing borders with those drugs, sometimes having well publicized run-ins with the law and who knows what else he encounters that we don't know about.
You - you're just trying to avoid trouble and obey the laws - so you can see why somebody like him might think that he needs the permit and you don't.
