Charlie Tierney objects to a national driver liscense on the grounds that it is a form of "National Identification Card". This seems a little strange because I believe that that is waht a passport is. The government of the United States issues them just like every other government does. While American citizens are not required to have them unless they travel abroad, many people do have them. Is there any objection to the government issueing passports? If they do issue passports, then why is there an objection to them also issueing driver ,liscenses? Meredith Morris rabbit!mam
