    Oh, that's really neat! I'd love to see that some day. Have you been there, Gretchen?

    I read about something similar recently, maybe in the New York Times, that said there is a lake or river between Washington State and British Columbia with an island in the middle of it. Half the island is in the U.S. and half in Canada, and on the island you can wander from one country to the other and back without passing through any checkpoints. However, to GET to or from the island you have to go through the customs check at whichever side you're coming from or going to.

    Mexico, with which we also share the North American continent, did not always require passport (or the new passport cards.) A drivers license, voter's i.d., or birth certificate was sufficient to cross the border until recently.

    But it is a foreign country!

    Of course it's a foreign country, they don't speak American there! Canada, however, is clearly mostly not foreign, as with the exception of Quebec, they speak American.

    Okay, hoser?

    And then there is the State of Virginia -

    The Republican Party of Virginia will require all citizens of the state voting in the Republican primary on March 6, 2012 to sign a loyalty oath before being permitted to cast their votes.
    Put plainly, anyone who shows up at the polling place must sign a form wherein he or she swears to support the Republican candidate who wins the nomination. Refusal to sign the pledge results in revocation of the right to vote in the Republican primary election.
    source



    I have a son in Virginia. He said he will not vote in the primary if this is in effect.
