OK, I said I was done, but the tomatoes coming through my screen are splattering my shirt.
This isn't about ID's actually; it's about reprimanding me for things I didn't say.
If these posts are intended for me (apparently, as I'm the poster previous to them), once again I'm not advocating "papers" and ID's for everything. I just said I had no problem showing my ID on Amtrak (the topic of the thread), or pulling out my drivers license to show I'm me (so I don't receive the meds meant for the other person with my name, or whatever). And, btw, the doctor, hospital, and retailer taking my check and wanting to see my ID aren't any type of government.
When some of you get a bee in your bonnet, it seems to negatively affect your reading comprehension.
Where did I say that showing an ID keeps anyone safe from terrorists?? I agree with you on that. Stop putting words in my mouth; heaven knows I'm wordy enough on my own! If I went to the trouble of planning to commit terrorism, I'd probably have a fake ID or just not care, period.
I really am done this time. Pretend I said whatever you want to and have at it.
