I've been thinking a lot a about the Cuban Missile Crises and the Cold War lately. I was only 6 when JFK was assassinated so I don't remember the Missile Crises but I do remember the cold War. Now we're just giving away our rights to the "USSR" by way of a bunch of criminals, and traiters.

Thinking back to when I was in school, until I had my driver license at 16, I certainly didn't carry around papers to indicate my citizenship. Are we entering a new era not seen since the 30s, where show me your papers will apply in this country?
