It's overly complicated by design, and about to get moreso.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

We can even travel all over the EU with only this card and no passport.
They look kinda like this:

Why don't you free people have that too, rendering any legislation like this into some bogeyman?

There a lot of people named Specimen.

I have lived in several different states over the years and going to the DMV for anything is right up there with having to have a root canal done - without anesthesia.

Somehow, the powers that be are making it even worse.

When we first moved to TX and went to get new licenses, it wasn't awful.  And they had it set up so that every other time you could do it online.  Not too bad.  But now they want to see every document you have to renew so they can prove it's really you.  I have gathered my birth certificate, my DD214, my marriage license, and will offer my first born in order to keep a license.  I will be 68 in June...I have not suddenly become an undocumented immigrant and I have to prove that.  Hell, one side of my family has been in the states since the 1650s.  

Perhaps I should bring my other grandfather's immigration papers...I have them.

Fascists attacking people for "antisemitism". We truly live in bizarre times.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Yup, being anti-ethic cleansing now equals antisemitism.
