I never gave id laws any thought either, as I was born and raised in CT, and I always had to show ID to vote. But not in MA.
However, the other day, I needed sudafed for a sinus headache, and I had to produce not only an ID, but had to sign for it so they could check to see how often I buy it????? AND to make sure if I come back too soon, they have me on record???? And these idiots have a problem verifying they are eligible to vote? Half this country, and most of WA and the courts, have lost their collective minds!
I am not a big fan of the government being so heavily invested in us having I.D. available upon demand.
The prevalence of more and more “Eastern Block” style situations within our borders causes me to wonder how we ever got along without this. There was a time when none of ths was necessary, and it seems the more we have this, the more they seem to think we need to increase it.
It seems to me we need to stop and think bout this long and hard.
