I think it's extreme, too, but, I don't care either way. I carry my driver's license with me everywhere I go. I've forgotten it on occassion, and, haven't been able to get a pack of smokes for my older brother, a lotto ticket, etc. I'll be 29 in September, but, I look a lot younger. I know when I worked in a photo lab in a grocery store, we sold the cigarettes back there, and, i carded everyone. I only had a handful of people who got bent out of shape about it, most people were cool with it. I've not bought spray paint or anything like that, so, I haven't experienced that. I did get carded for explicit lyrics on a cd recently though. Things are a changin', that's for sure. Maybe if adults and children would straighten up and fly right, we could get back to trusting people. Until then, though, things like this will continue to happen.
