"See your papers"
Why do I need to show ID to buy alcohol but not to vote?
The more important fact is that he arouses one's sense of wonder at the imagination and self-invention it must have taken to leap from his father's shoulders and reach for the deals that he did. Jay Gatsby lives, without romance and without the usual tragic flaws. The secret really seems to be hard work, thorough preparation, detailed knowledge, careful planning, tight organization, strong leadership, dogged persistence, controlled energy, good instincts and the genetic ability to deal.

The real question is, "Why do I need to show ID to walk the streets?"

You need to show an ID to use a credit card. I can buy alcohol without showing an ID at several places. Costco, Smart and Final, BevMo, etc.

Because buying alcohol is not a constitutional right, and the United States does not mandate that you need personal identification.
Therefore someone who freely chooses not to have an ID card will be deprived of their constitutional right to vote.
You're able to make ID compulsory to close this constitutional hole...

ah, the 'don't tread on me' folks are now defending when the feds demand to see citizens' ID when they are their own home or driving down the road.

I haven’t needed to show ID to buy alcohol for years.
Once it’s obvious that you aren’t a snot nosed kid you won’t either.

I gotta call BS on that. Your posts display all the telltale signs of Mormonism.
And, for what it's worth, some stores card anyone who tries to buy alcohol, regardless of whether they look 18 or 80.
LOL, some. In Texas you can buy alcohol without showing ID at a liquor store with a drive-through window.
IN Texas the legal drinking age is 21, BUT in Texas it is legal for a parent or legal guardian to give alcohol to children they are in charge of who are under 21. The kids are not required to show an ID to dad or mom.
