Really.

Bowser — 9/14/2006 12:56:27 AM (archived)

I used to laugh at all those countries which demanded papers from everyone for everything. Remember the WWII escapee stories and how they cleverly forged documents, what they used for paper, and ink? Ingenious, and talented, they were.

Now we are there ourselves. Have to produce photo ID to even board a train. Now those aren't exactly hijack heavens. Pretty soon may need it for theatres, after all there are a bunch of people in there, stadii, huge numbers in there, and certainly mass, mosque, church or temple.

And a passport costs $97? When did that kick in? I just noticed mine has expired.
