And yet, somehow our nation fluorished for 230 some odd years without photo ID, or to put it another way, without U.S. Citizens having to provide their papers at every whim of the federal government.

It is astonishing to me to watch supposed conservatives buy into a scenario when they will have to provide their papers to vote, to fly, to ride by rail and soon to drive down the highway.

Pretty soon our car licenses will be recorded as we pass checkpoints along the way to our desitnation.

Not only will idiots track our every key punch on the internet, they will track our every movement.

This nation is no longer the land of the free and the home of the brave. We are the land of the cowards and the home of the feckless.

Oh please, that is soooo old school.

You car and cell phone and everything else are all going to have a GPS built into it with instant hotlines to 911. We don't need to record where you are at checkpoints.

I'm pretty sure that for much of that time people would have had to show documentation in order to vote. Prior to the invention of photography they wouldn't have been photo IDs, but on the other hand I believe in many places document falsification was a very major crime.
