[Vision2020] [Bulk] Re: Sali's concerns put spotlight on ID cards issued by Mexico

[Paul Rumelhart]

I wish there was a name for this little bit of wisdom I've learned; I'll 
try to get it across anyway.

Some people have limited horizons with respect to how they view the 
world around them.  They only have a few topics on the forefront of 
their minds, and everything starts to relate to those.  You've had 
friends that say the same things to you time and time again, right?  
They repeat the same old remarks, talk about the same subjects, and 
often forget that they've mentioned that to you a couple of times 
before.  One corollary to this idea is that if your significant other 
starts accusing you out-of-the-blue of infidelity, you can be assured 
nine times out of ten that they are cheating on you.  Anyway, I'm just 
reminded of this because of your response.  I've seen mostly childish 
remarks from you, directed at anyone you correspond with.  Sometimes you 
can stick with the topic of debate for three or four posts, for which I 
commend you.  On other occasions, you derail a thread completely with 
trollish comments and insults, and act all "what, why are you attacking 
me?" when they respond in kind.  At other times, your insults are more 
subtle, such as the one you threw my way in your first response to me on 
this topic: "Well, if you don't see that as a problem, then I don't 
think anyone could convince you of anything being a problem."

That's my free psychoanalysis of you, for what it's worth.  I greatly 
suspect that our conversations won't last long, because I doubt you can 
stick to the topics of debate for very long without all the added remarks.

Any opinions about whether or not banking, financial, and governmental 
institutions should change their policies regarding consular IDs, as 
opposed to blocking the entire consulate from being placed in this state?
