"That's just silly. The ID doesn't stop them from buying wine and beer. Nor applying for food stamps, nor library cards, nor driver's licence."

Now you are being silly. Looking visibly more than 21, if that, is all you need to buy beer and wine. Since when is photo ID required to get a library card? And not all the poor and minorities get food stamps or drive.
