hello america!!! color me stupid but, i'm having problems with this<><><>

i just don't see the problem with having to show a gov't issued id card to vote. in this day & age, you need that id for so many services & not to have one really puts a dampener on life. (BUT, BEFORE I GET INTO THAT, ONE OF THE ARGUMENTS IS THAT THIS IMPOSES A 'HARDSHIP' ON PEOPLE THAT LIVE A LONG WAY FROM WHERE THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET THE ID AT---HMMM!!! DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME SINCE THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL THAT SAME DISTANCE TO VOTE---SOME STATES HAVE EVEN OFFERED TO 'TRAVEL' TO THEM TO PERFORM THE SERVICE---HMMM!!!)
look, have you ever tried to cash a check without an id card &, it has to be current? you can't do any of the following without a state issued id card:::open a bank account; cash a check; get a job; pick up your mail at a post office; drive legally; get a credit card &, in some places, use a credit card; get public assistance such as food stamps & medical coverage; rent, lease or buy a vehicle---not even a u-haul; get life insurance; rent or buy a house; buy a gun; buy alcohol &, depending on how old you look, get served alcohol; enter clubs; collect social security or disability; get a social security card; stay in a hotel or motel: HELL, IT'S COMING TO THE POINT WHERE YOU WON'T BE ALLOWED TO FART WITHOUT THAT ID CARD...
i'm sure that you can probably come up with some more things that require state issued id cards but, if we have so many people living here without that card, what in the hell purpose do they serve?
for that matter, let the police stop you (for any reason) & you can't prove who you are---guess what happens? yup, you got it:::the police give you a voucher to stay at the best hotel in town for a month, a check for five hundred dollars (spending money) &, a newly impounded car...OH, I'M SO SORRY...NO ID-NO HOTEL::NO ID-NO CASHING THE CHECK::NO ID-NO CAR<><><>the police are taking you in until they find out who you are...
SO, COLOR ME STUPID BUT, I'LL BET YOU HAVE A 'VALID' ID CARD!!!
