Something Is Happening Here, But You Don't Know What It Is…
I don't know. I find it pretty depressing. There was a time when we condescendingly used the term "your papers, please" to distinguish ourselves from Eastern Bloc countries and other authoritarian states. Post-Hiibel, America has become a place where a harmless, 68-year-old man out on a stroll can be stopped, interrogated, detained, and forced to produce proof of identification to state authorities, despite having committed no crime.
I guess I just don't see the punchline.
