Ted, one more post on this subject. I've thought about the AZ law some more, and the more I do that, the more I'm conflicted.

We have to get a handle on the immigration situation, but I'm not sure I want to carry documents on me wherever I go. We're going to find ourselves in a TSA-like situation where old ladies get pulled over for their documents just because law enforcement has to treat everyone "equally."

Or we can racially profile, which means only Hispanics (and probably Asians) will have to carry documents with them wherever they go.

Of course, I have to carry a driver's license with me whenever I drive, but driving has always been a privilege, not a right. If I take a bus or train, I don't need any documents. At least not now.

There's a lot more I could discuss, and I know I'm being vague here, but basically we've taken living in a free country for granted. Now that we're importing the problems of Latin America, we have to start re-examining the price of said freedom.

Or we could just keep calling each other names and playing the race card to no avail. Remember, I think the question of race will eventually become obsolete as more races intermarry and produce children that can't identify themselves as belonging to any one group.
