Be careful - someone in Howie Dean's office is ready to lead you back to the plantation if you keep sounding so independent.

In the state where I live, they have an interesting system - essentially, when you have the documentation that proves you were born in the US / are a US citizen, you pretty much breeze through the line. The further the down the ladder you are, the greater the combination of documentation you must provide to prove you are legally and have the right to get a driver's license. What I found interesting was the amount of people in the lines who I overheard who couldn't provide the required documentation and were giving excuse after excuse why they didn't have what was required. The staff simply told them they couldn't do anything unless they came back with the proper documentation and the lines seemed to move pretty swiftly. Basically, its' the lack of human contact (because of technology) that contributes to a lot of the problems we have now. 1: Would you contribute to lack of security in our nation by doing something over the internet rather than presenting yourself (every other year I’m guessing) with the appropriate and required documentation to prove who you really are?

My Texas driver's license expires next month and I am going to have to deal with our state DPS to get it renewed, since last time I used the online service and per state guidelines, I can "only" use the web renewal every other time. Who made that stupid rule, anyway? But I digress. At least you had to deal with it on the phone. I have to get in line with the blue haired ladies and their clueless spouses with hearing aids, the country folk whose fashion sense went out with the Urban Cowboy phase, the snot-nosed high school punks with loud cell phones, and the obligatory illegal aliens (solamente espanol, por favor) who hold up the line while they're looking for someone to translate for them.
