35. The point of the list is that 90% of it is baloney

I have not had to show my ID in the vast majority of circumstances on the list. Its a bogus piece of right wing manure to argue that virtually anybody that exists and does any shopping already has a photo ID that will qualify under the greed-banger voter ID laws (where your name and address must exactly match their voter registration information, for example, and must be a government issued ID). Well, it just ain't so. It is not hard to find most of this list being debunked on the Internet. I certainly haven't been carded on a number of items on the list, and that includes applying for credit.
