Please don't click on this thread if you are disgusted by the Circuit City story.

If you are curious and have no idea what I am talking about, here is the story: http://www.freedomsphoenix.com/Find-Freedom.htm?At=023277&From=News

But if you think that guy was just borrowing trouble or stirring up shit, then you need to move on to other more important threads. If you think it is okay for a store to treat customers like thieves by demanding to see their receipts as they leave the store, in spite of the fact that there are probably numerous security cameras in the store and it is also most likely impossible to exit the store without passing through the cashiers' lanes, then you need to be reading a different thread.

If you think it is okay for a police officer to arrest a man for the crime of refusing to show his ID, then you really don't need to be reading this. If it wouldn't bother you to have to show your ID to any cop who asks you, even after you call the police for help, then go on to one of the other threads.

If you have an ID and always carry it with you and don't mind producing it to prove your identity, move along. If you aren't like my mother who didn't even have an ID, and don't believe anyone in the USA in 2007 has no ID and no way of getting one, then there are surely other threads that will seem more interesting to you.

If you think it is okay to be treated like a citizen in a country with a dictator as a leader, then read something else. Go shopping, watch American Idol and don't ever leave home without your ID. Maybe you could even buy one of those tags and wear it around your neck so you can always produce it for the nice police officers who ask.

And be sure to read some of those other more important threads here. Cause this one is just too silly.
