When it comes to the Affirmation Statement,
the answer to that question would be "yes"
The AS is viewed as
a joke,
a departure from reality,
out of touch,
the opinion of a few neanderthals,
a pain in the posterior but something to put up with and not take seriously,
something that has to be returned to HQ periodically with some sort of signature to maintain your license/credentials/union affiliation,
etc.
It's like the "blue laws" on our books.
They're still there but nobody pays any attention to them.
