I saw that on the news last night, Connie. It also said Canada may retailiate by requiring Americans to show passports. But FWIW, I wouldn't travel to the US without my passport now, anyway. Especially by air.
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

In a move intended to counter terrorism, the U.S. will require by 2008 that Americans show passports or other specialized documents to reenter the country from Mexico and Canada, federal officials said Tuesday.
Buh? I thought this was already the case.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Movies or TVs or (in the case of my schizophrenic cousin) heating vents talking to you and telling you what to do is usually a pretty clear indication of psychosis.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm not sure it's been proven she is, though.
Why?

Pffft. Next you'll be telling us not to believe everything we read on the internet. Which is just craxxy.

Because you're responsible for your actions even if you're insane
in legal terms, you're insane only if you did not know right from wrong at the time of the crime. If you say "I know it was wrong, but the big white bunny told me to", you're not legally insane.

Buh? I thought this was already the case.
The specialized documents they're talking about in this case are things like the frequent crosser things they already have in place--not the usual ID + Birth Certificate that you're supposed to have.
What it means for me, basically, is that I'll be shelling out a couple of hundred bucks (because the kidlet will need one, too) that I really can't afford just so that I can still make it across the border in case of funerals. There are sections of my state that are going to be royally fucked by this, one suspects, as they depend on border traffic.

Connie, this may or may not help. My SiL is a paranoid schizophrenic. She's been ill since her early 20's and she's now 50. In her own mind she doesn't need the drugs BUT without them the "voices" tell her to hurt not only herself but others and even if you could get through to her in this state (doubtful), she'd still think her actions were reasonable, when clearly they aren't. Medicated, she has about 50% reality and you can get through to her and she'll clearly understand all the ramifications of her actions and stop most harmful behavior before it goes badly.
