Governments making us age at a prescribed Rate

Boasun · #1 (**permalink**) 06-05-2008

I now have prove that our governments are making us age a prescribed rate.
The proof is thus:
1. When I had to change driver's licenses from Oregon to Louisiana. I asked the young lady behind the counter to change my birth date from 1940 to 1960. she refused to do so while laughing about it. And they put a picture of an old man I've never seen before on my license.
2. A couple of years later when renewing my Maritime license at the USCG Regional Station, I asked the people behind the counter to please change my birth date to 1960. They refused while laughing and put a picture of an even older man on my Mariner's documents.
3. Two days ago I had to renew my USN Retiree ID card and ask if they would change my birth date to 1960 and again they refused while snickering and again put a picture of an old man on my ID card.

Now with the above evidence at hand, I have shown that your governments will not let us age at a more leisurely rate.

Now what can we do about this?? Protest? Hold meetings? Do sit in at government offices? What can we do?

Do any of you have an answer?

Cam, That reminds me of my late grandfather. When he requested a replacement birth certificate from Ireland, they sent one showing he was about five years older than he really was. He didn't complain.

HAHA! Funny.

BTW, mine is 1971. Not to make you feel old, of course. In fact, I want to help you and Cam...

We will need to get the ladies in on this. For it affects them also. I'm sure that if you ask any lady, she will say that she is younger then she is and wants it to be that way in reality. Well I'm the same way. I'm younger then what my birth certificate shows. but trying to the the governments to recognize this is problematic.
So up in arms people protest loudly and often!!
