NPR: Govenor, why are you against RealID?

Gov: Well, we're puttn' up with the federal government on so many fronts and nearly every month they are coming out with another hair-brained scheme.. uh unfunded mandate to tell us our life is going to be better if we'll just buckle under on some other kind of rule or regulation, and we usually just play along for a while, we ignore them for as long as we can, and try not to bring it to a, uh head, but if it comes to a head, we've found it's best to just, uh tell 'em to go to hell and run the state the way you want to run the state!

...

unfortunately this time around they've really got a hair brained scheme.

This is the way it works:

This RealID scheme that congress has come up with was supposed to help us with immigration, homeland security, also supposed to stop the, uh identity theft... Come on! These real IDs won't even be available for, what are they sayin? 7 years?

There is no RealID!

Gets better from there. Listen for the real interesting bit of information. Guess how many dissenting votes there were in Montana for not complying with the RealID act!

Why am I not surprised?

Montana has a long and distinguished history of thumbing their collective noses at the federal government.

Funny story: When I was moving to South Dakota before my senior year in high school, we met my father in Bozeman. After loading my stuff into his rig, we started driving east. He was doing about 110 dropping down into Billings, and he got pulled over. (This is back when the federal 55mph limit was still in effect, and Montana still fighting it back then.)

The cop issued my father a citation for "wasting natural resources", a $5 fine, which my father paid on the spot.

Montana was forced to follow the 55 mph federal law by the Reagan administration, or lose all of their federal highway funds. Montana put the signs up but never enforced it.

I guarantee if they issue me one of those ID's with the RFID tracking chip in it, the very first thing I'm doing with it is tossing it in the microwave for 30 seconds!

Good for Montana! I knew I liked that state.

I think if I didn't live in the PNW, I could live there. Lots of outdoors stuff to do!

He was doing about 110 dropping down into Billings, and he got pulled over.
Wow, that's crazy, but something I've heard of happening in Montana for quite a while.

I heard they actually have speed limits on the freeways there now because too many people were dying in wrecks.

Something sorta related: family and I drove from Portland to Seattle in the summer of 2002... we did the 70 MPH speed limit on some of the rural stretches of I-5 for a while... when we decided that we didn't feel safe going that fast (just plain felt too fast), we pulled to the far right-hand lane and did 65 the rest of the way through those stretches.

And, these days I'd highly recommend Amtrak, Shared Route (in principle - never personally used it), or even Greyhound for the same trip these days. They even have a local 2x/weekday and 1x/Saturday shuttle that stops in all the towns between Salmon Creek and Tumwater these days.

Yeah they have a 75 mph posted speed limit in Montana now, though they don't enforce it for crap.

They'll nail you at night, but in the day it's fair game.

They put it in because sports car enthusiasts were using I-90 like it was the Autobahn.

Kraftwerk wrecked it for everybody.

Rectum? Darn near killed um!
