Which historical reference will you associate my analogy now?
Good luck with your "webolution". I look forward to all the changes that your selfless sacrifice brings about...I mean, inconveniencing the rest of the traveling public, that just wants to get home, as you shove your personal views down the throat of a government entity is going to work, right? The same government entity that a large portion of the public have no problem with...mainly because they understand that showing a form of I.D. at the airport is no more intrusive than showing it at the bank, grocery store (for alcohol), video store, or voting. These people understand that there are bigger things to worry about in our country right now and do not whip themselves into a "Hitler is Here!" frenzy everytime someone from the government speaks to them, but I guess everyone has to have a cause...once again, good luck.
