When my mom died and I had to file some papers regarding her estate
in Greece (she was born in Greece) they turned it back because I had
shown the notary my drivers licence (and he attached copy) and
required me to send a passport. I was annoyed, to say the least. I
said a few obsenities about them being statist and all.
Y'know under English Common Law, you can use any name you want so
long as it isn't fraudulent. But once you start getting diplomas and
drivers licences and checking accounts, you can't do it so easy. I've
often wondered if I shudda changed my name before I got my college
diploma. They even told us it's so much harder to change your name
after you graduate. Most folks could care less about the freedom to
use any name they feel like, but it just shows how our freedoms are
being chipped away.
But I gotta admit the idea of making driver licences into a
national id is more of the American way of doing it than issuing a
national ID. (The Fed Reserve is likewise split up into district
banks and the banks are technically owned by the member banks in each
district - very different from the old European model.) I'm annoyed
as all get out when I show some id to some lazy worthless guard and he
says it's gotta be from the grubmint. Once I showed my notary licence
and my alumni library id, the notary licence satisfying the "grubmint"
part. It's whacked. It ain't protecting us none, either. The way to
fight terrorists is to arm everyone mandatorily. Them suckers wuddna
tried nothing if folks were armed.
What the heck they gonna do next, force us to have Napoleonic Law
like most of Western Europe (and Loozie-annie)?
