The deadline of yet another, and perhaps the most insidious, element of the post-9/11 initiatives (a partial list of which includes the establishment of the Transportation Security Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, and a never-ending international war against a nebulously-defined, noncorporeal enemy, "terror") is less than one year from coming to fruition. Beginning no later than October 1, 2020, citizens of all US states and territories will be required to have a Real ID compliant card or US passport to board a commercial plane or enter a Federal government facility. Pundits citing the inevitability of what amounts to a national ID card have, regrettably, been vindicated.

Yeah, that ain't something that happens here in the states. We're so big on being pissed off that it's our primary export.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.

This is post-9/11 America. You're not allowed to be angry. Your beliefs are so badly out of date, you're going to the mental ward.

Huh. Like it matters! Being pissed off and doing nothing about it as as inconsequential as not being pissed off.
Note: I'm not saying that you need to or, indeed, you can do something different of being pissed off.

Everyone needs a hobby.

When the hobby is a habit of an entire population, it's no longer a hobby, it's tradition.
