	First off, I am on your side.  An out of state ID of ANY kind
	including a passport is NOT usable and therefore, it doesn't
	help us (Mass) get out of state visitors to be happy here.

	However, I do belive that based on a Mass law and presidence,
	the only LEGALLY acceptable ID is the RMV Licence.  This is
	based on my memory from working my father's store some years
	back.  As much as I hate to say it, it's not the store's or the
	bar's (etc) who have a choice in the matter.

	Most stores/bars/etc will stick to it because if they take any
	other type of ID and a purchase is made, then the establishment
	is lible for anything anyone cares to wish on them.

	Our state has not gotten it into their/our thick skulls that if
	a person is underage and attempts to purchase beer/etc then they
	by that very act have broken the law by inferring that they are
	of legal age.

	There's more I can say but I'll keep it to myself right now.

      It's too bad that it takes almost half of our life
	to realize that it was a "Do-It-Yourself" project.
