We tend not to carry wallets on our person and we do go outside without purses from time to time, hence no ID

Runners seem not to carry IDs.

We all grew up thinking this was the land of the free, and it seemed like it was OK to be here. Without papers.

Lots of people do not have driver's licenses and the poorer ones probably don't have easy access to get to DMV for the state ID. Lots of workers don't carry anything on their person at work and some of them (a lot of them being browner than ivory) work in landscaping. Gee, no chance of that becoming a problem, is there.

Fact is, some people DO go outside without papers. Silly us, we thought we had rights an all.

This law in AZ will probably not be a problem for my brother and sister, both of whom walk their dogs without carrying wallets, and both of them blond. People less blond, but just as legal should not have to live differently so some yahoos can demand cops make them provide papers.

And just which papers will satisfy? I keep thinking about Obama's birth certificate not being enough for some of the idiots out there. Well, what papers will they except as proof? Oh there are some problems ahead for a lot of innocent people regardless of whether they carry ID like you or sometimes don't like me.
