Three Humble Thoughts

 1.  Having sat through the Republican debate 'crap' this AM....three observations: (1) I did speed-mute with Chris Christie.....I just don't have the stamina to listen to his BS anymore. (2) Nikki Haley didn't come off as someone that I'd trust enough to buy a used-car from. (3) Vivek slaughtered the folks on stage, that GOP 'boss' gal, and Mr Holt from NBC.  Otherwise, it was marginal entertainment.

2.  Air Force went to Congress and asked them to establish a 2-mile 'buffer-zone' around each nuke missile silo.  Heck of a lot of farm property involved.  The logic of a 2-mile zone versus a 1-mile zone?  Never explained.  

3.  All this BS over voter-ID?  You ever noticed that no one has ever done a realistic study over who lacks such an ID?  I suspect if you walked around the state of Alabama....meeting up with each resident over the age of 18....you'd find fewer than 1,000 people in the state in this situation.

Vivek was awesome. I loved his call for Ronna to resign.

I am shocked that so many people do not realize there are Millions of people in the United States without I.D or proper identification for voting. Who are these people lacking proper I.D.??? They belong to a group of people in our society that do not meet the voting requirements, they are called children, infants and teenagers.

I left out kids/juveniles, because typically, you don't have anything required to present for an ID, until you start driving (15-permit, 16-license). After that...age 18 for booze/beer, purchase of hunting rifles, registration for in-state tuition situations.

If anyone knows of a situation where kids require an ID for something...I'd be curious to know the reason.
