 Asking for permission assumes that one has authority to grant said permission. 

I recognize no earthly authority. 🙂

 Sadly what I believe to be right and wrong does not matter, when those who believe otherwise possess more bullets than I could ever own.

Though it pains me so, I try to live in such a manner that minimizes my suffering.

 I respect the sentiment fully. Doing what is “right” regardless of permissions is the way. Consequences are a good guiding light for most of these decisions.

Love breaking a shit rule. 
 Unfortunately I read that question completely wrong. I would definitely fail this exam. ☹️

 Definitely a fail. My War of 1812 knowledge is severely lacking. 😂
