I am not too sure how I feel about this issue. I suppose, though, that I feel the same way I do about other issues - wearing turbans in the military instead of helmets, or in the RCMP, instead of the standard. I think there are certain things that are done for a reason, either tradition or legal, that I think we shouldn't be messing with. This concerns me greatly

I Steven Tschtter, have left a "Hutterite Colony" in June-16-06. I just can't understand what the difference is if there is a picture on the licence or not. After all it is just a card. But what wonders me,is how does the justice system idenfy these people if the ever get caught up in the justice system.
P.S I'm from Cluny Colony.
