Lines: 30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I realize that Europeans accept the concept of a government issued ID, but this is the USA, and Americans have a long tradition (thank goodness) of opposing such police state tactics. Bill Mitchell (whuxl!wjm) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill, Another sweeping generalization .......where is your basis for this ? In England you don't even need to carry your drivers license when driving ! The police will give you 7 days to produce drivers lic.,insurance and the equivilent of registration at ANY police station YOU specify. So tell me what national ID was I supposed to be carrying ? Give same info for Dutch,French,Belgians,etc etc !!!!!!!!!! I thought red tape was bad in Europe until I came to the US.What do you call the current operations of most state patrols along Interstate highways is as oppressive as the Gaurdia Civil in Spain(during Franco's regime).Don't you worry about maybe you're doing something wrong whenever you see a state trooper these days ?? -- Dave Peak (pyuxhh!dxp) Ye Gods and little fishes !!!!!!!!!!!!!
