o.k., we all know Real ID sucks. It's a waste of time and money, as well as an invasion of privacy and a slap in the face to individual liberty.
SO- in the spirit of Harry Browne's How I Found Freedom in an Unfree World, what are we going to do to avoid this law? Obviously, beating our chest and trying to get it overturned is an indirect alternative that we should be involved with, but what direct alternatives will you be using?
I, for one, will see to it that the image that goes into the database at DMV looks nothing like me. My driver's license comes up for renewal in November. I normally have short hair, but I'm growing it long just for my driver's license photo. I'm also not going to shave for about a month before the picture, so that I go in looking like Grizzly Adams. I might dress up like a biker or an indian chief or something, as well. I might shave my eyebrows off. I might get a friend to punch me in the face and give me a black eye. All I know is, if they're going to put a picture of me in a database, it's going to look nothing like me.
Can anyone else think of anything else we can do to muck up the system? I normally don't get involved (publicly) in such acts of civil disobediance, but this is pretty important and I think it merits discussion.
