14. One thing no one has mentioned...

is that to gain entry into a Federal Building after May of this year (I think) one MUST have a REAL ID card. Regular driver's license will no longer be accepted as a valid form of citizenship identity. So... if you can't do it over the phone, and you can't get a REAL ID, you're shit out of luck.

I bring this up because I went through my second go-around trying to get a REAL ID card at my DMV. The whole system is slanted against women. I'm about to have to face Texas via phone calls and who knows what else to try to "fix" a white-out problem on my last marriage certificate. This is absolutely ridiculous. But this REAL ID card will become the de facto identifying paper where you identity is concerned. Damn GW Bush for this, and all the submissive women who said "no problem." Besides having to trace every aspect of your lineage where men are concerned with you, you end up paying money you may or may not have. As well as contend with clerks who seem to get their logic from the Twilight Zone.
