Dear Mrs. Ms. Or Sir:

I'm in the process of renewing my passport and still cannot believe this.

How is it that Radio Shack has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a cable TV from them in 1987 (23 years ago), and yet, the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date.

For lands sakes, do you guys do this by hand? Ever heard of computers?

My birth date you have in my social security file. It's on EVERY income tax form I've filed for the past 30 years. It's on my Medicare health insurance card and my driver's license, it's on the last eight passports I've had, it's on every stupid customs declaration form I've had to fill out before being allowed off the plane for the last 30 years. And it's on all those census forms that we have to do at election times.

Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Maryanne, my father's name is Robert and I'm reasonably confident that neither name is likely to change between now and when I die.

Between you an' me, I've had enough of this bureaucratic bullshit!

You send the application to my house, then you ask me for
my #*&#%*& address.

What is going on? You must have a gang of bureaucratic Neanderthal morons working there!

Look at my picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? And "No," I don't want to dig up Yasser Arafat. I just want to go and park my but on a sandy beach. And would someone please tell me, why would you give a damn whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days?

If I ever got the urge to do something weird to a chicken or a goat, believe you me, I'd sure as hell not want to tell anyone!

Well, I have to go now because I have to go to the other end of the city and get another #*@&#^@*@& copy of my birth certificate to the tune of $100.

Would it be so difficult to have all the services in the same area so I could get a new passport the same day? Nooooo, that would require planning and organization. And it would be too logical for the @&^*^%@% government.

You'd rather have us running all over the place like chickens with our heads cut off. Then, we have to find some idiot to confirm that it's really me in the damn picture - you know, the one where we're not allowed to smile... Hey, you know why we can't smile?

We're totally pissed off!

Signed

- An Irate Citizen.

Funny. Though to be honest, when I renewed my passport a few years ago it was mostly painless.

I love that and can relate to the "irate citizen". Having recently retired I can't for the life of me understand why I needed to fill out a dozen different forms for my employer who had all my info and had been paying me for 26 years. Perhaps I was merely part of a production line. grrrrrrrrrrr

I am reminded of credit cards and occasionally, voting.

In 99 I was in Florida making a change over to go home to Texas . As I step on the plane I asked the steward if I needed my passport to get into Texas . He looked at me funny and said no . I looked back at my boss and said "Oh good it has not started yet". The next 5 hours I was watched the entire flight . My boss waited till we where on the ground before he chewed me out . I have not flown since .

I have had people call and ask my phone number !

I know what it is, there is only so much brains available in the world and we have used it up. Now every person born beyond that like three billion mark means we each get lees brains.

What saved me is that I am so old.

Sorry about the rest of you.
