Hear, hear, Alma. I'm not fond of the new ID card an it's potential
for misuse, but I doubt strongly that it's the end of the American
republic as we know it. As is the case with any politician, I'm not in
agreement with 100% of George Bush's decisions, but he's a lot better
than the alternative we were presented with in the election.
I'll have to try Heinlein's book.
