" have my original social security card (1957). It clearly has stamped on it, in bold, blue letters:"
"Not to be used for identification"
You know when I look at all this crap going on today, I am starting to have a hard time believing that this isn't part of some Master Plan. Our SSI cards have printed in red letters "Not to be used for identification", yet what happened 40 years ago? Our SSI cards became just that, our singular most important ID card if you didn't have a drivers license! There was about 10 or 15 years where they would take either one, your SSI or the DL card for proof positive as to who you were. Now you can't get on a flight unless you have a state issued ID card.
