Also, as of Dec. 30th, there was a bill on Gov. Bill Taft's desk, called the Ohio Patriot Act which would require citizens to show ID upon request or face being arrested.
"The lengthy piece of legislation would let police arrest people in public places who will not give their names, address and birth dates, even if they are not doing anything wrong.
WEWS reported it would also pave the way for everyone entering critical transportation sites such as, train stations, airports and bus stations to show ID."
"do you honestly think you can live on "minimum wage" anywhere now?"
Only 1.2 percent of all minimum wage workers were adult heads of households with incomes less than $10,000. Fifty-seven percent of minimum wage workers are single individuals, many of them living with their parents.
Also, note that the Poverty line for a single person is $ 8,980, whereas working minimum wage full time for 50 weeks a year earns a person $10,300 (granted, this is before taxes). Plus, it is not hard to find a job paying more than minimum wage, IF the person is willing to work at all. In fact, I haven't earned minimum wage or less since I was 15 years old.

I opened WinAmp after reading this and what do I see? The only song on the playlist was that song.
Why should it matter if they are?
Yeah, and I suppose if humans weren't here the Earth would never change temperature.
"GW Bush is fighting hard to keep the smartcar out of the USA."
WTH kind of statement is that? Do you have any evidence to support it?

Most cops in any state now will arrest you for not providing name and birthdate, regardless of if there is a law requiring it.
"Nevada is still the only state which requires identification, upon request, by law."
Do you have any evidence that no other states do?
Here's another case (in Colorado) from the same website http://www.papersplease.org/davis/index.html
There's no law that requires you to have one, but if you do have one, you are required to produce it upon request.

I think this website gives plenty of info. We _are_ in such a society, and the courts have upheld it.
This isn't about whether the airlines want to see ID or not. It's about the fact that they have to check them even if they don't want to.
And if a cop thinks he looks like a derelict and decides to stop and ask for ID?? Yep, he's going straight to jail if he doesn't produce it.
I believe that would be a Tie Bomber.
