Thinking that urban people don't have ID is now a signal to me of armchair liberalism.

Care really hard about those people. Don't have a clue how they live, what their values are, or whether they have ID or not.

Guess what. They have ID. In greater numbers than suburbanites. Don't believe me? Ask 'em. I have, over and over and over again.

The reasons why this might be true, I leave as an exercise to the reader. As a hint, answer this question: what do you think will happen to you if you walk down your local street without ID? And now, what do you think will happen to an urban dweller? How will your experience differ?
