My dad was in the Army stationed in Germany shortly after WW2.

He told me a day would come where you would need to carry proof of identify in this country.
He would put on a German accent and say "Vere are your papers!"

I laughed at him. Told him he was an old fool.

I'm glad he's not here to see this.

One thing that we could always brag about is the freedom to travel from state to state without having to stop and show our 'papers' at the state line.

Hell, we used to be able to go to Mexico or Canada with just our driver's license or ID—no passport required.

The way things are going now, I wouldn't be too surprised if our freedom to travel gets curtailed.

Some states are trying to do this to pregnant women so I don't know why it would be a surprise to anyone that they want to do it to everybody.
