1. I despise what this country is becoming

really. I want no part of it.

6. And we let them...

copied from your sig line, seems appropriate. :(

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air -- however slight -- lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."
-- Justice William O. Douglas

11. thanks... yeah, I've had it as a sig line for years...

despite that though, we continue the downward spiral. :(

2. This is bullshit. The "real" terrorists have no problems coming up with

fake ID if they need to. This accomplishes nothing, except getting a step closer in being able to monitor American citizens more easily.

4. How many Americans have attempted to hijack or generally

take down a plane in flight in the past 8 years??? None you say? There, that's all you need to know about their real agenda. The man behind the curtain truly has gone mad with power.

8. Also those that enable the man behind the curtain...

all approved by Congress.

5. New licenses in the next 6 years ...

These assholes are about to be swept out of office. Hopefully, their fascist ideas go with them.

9. They always come back to haunt us, that is why accountability

is a major concern for me.

Congress approved this by a wide margin.

"The federal government issued national standards on Friday that states would have to meet in order for driver’s licenses they issue to qualify as identification at airports and federal buildings, setting the stage for a confrontation with states that have voted not to cooperate.

Under a measure known as Real ID legislation, the states must comply by May 11, the third anniversary of the measure’s enactment, or obtain a waiver from the Department of Homeland Security...

Ms. Schaffer predicted that pressure from the airlines might force the federal government to reverse itself.

The airlines, in fact, are worried, because travelers with driver’s licenses from states that do not have a waiver would have to use a passport or a military ID, or face additional screening, including a pat-down...
