And on that note, I went to my doctors last week -- the one I've been
going to for the last 20 years. And they asked me for a picture ID!
What! What! What! I was flabbergasted. Where is all this coming from?
It's ridiculous. I felt as if I was in a World War II movie, and the
Nazis were asking me for my papers. Once again, hysteria concerning
the quote unquote bad guys has taken over common sense. I live in New
England and have often visited Canada. Going to Canada, back then,
was like going to another state. However, now you have to have a damn passport!
Our government has led us to believe that more and more
identification and scanning and what ever is going to somehow make us
safe from the bad guys. This makes no sense whatsoever as not once
has identification or the lack thereof prevented a terrorist attack.
We are being whipped into a frenzy of apprehension and fear. To prove
my point, yesterday in a bordering city someone on an interstate bus.
Supposedly overheard the word bomb on a cell phone, which a fellow
passenger was listening to. This caused an immediate statewide alert.
Resulting in an eight hour standoff over nothing. There was no bomb.
There was nothing -- but hysteria.
The authorities on the other hand, praised the entire process from
the person who supposedly heard the word bomb, to the evacuation of
hundreds of people, to bringing out the full force of the National Guard.
We don't have to worry about the enemy destroying has, because we are
destroying ourselves.

Hi All,
Anybody here ever get fingerprinted since your accident? I
started a summer job at a center where some of the students are
developmentally disabled. I am an assistant meditation instructor
to 12 students with physically disabilities but have to be
fingerprinted nevertheless.
My finger are curled up so the only prints they could attempt
were my thumbs, but I very rarely use my left thumb so it had no
raised ridges - no print, they could only get my right thumb.
