I'm down with a drive to Toronto, but I need a passport to get into Canada now?

'Fraid so, and the same for Canadians going to the USA. You need a passport to go anywhere now.

you cannot cross this invisible line that can only be seen on government maps unless you have one of these little official booklets with your name in it.

We could always go this route:

Which asks the question: as robots become more and more advanced and commonplace and telepresence a viable option for those wanting a "face to face" meeting but for whatever reason are unable to haul their carcass to the destination, doesn't it follow that these passport laws are actually nothing more than social control?

Bah! Illegal robot aliens will be living off our electrical grid!

Inevitable associations with 2 recent movies:

Sleep Dealer, Mexico 2009

Surrogates, USA 2009

(With the latter don't think of the material viability of the premise and you'll enjoy it much more, esp. because of its spectacular pay-off, so no spoilers here.)

BUMP

I'm sure this is the furthest thing from your mind right now Jeff but ... better do it before the END OF TIME later this year.

I'd sure love to go.

Hold it in the states, and I'll bring free weed for everybody. I'm sure we can get over these petty differences. Same team, folks, same team.

...

The states is a long way to go.

But wordspeak2 is definitely tempting me.

Don't worry about the End of Time.

We can always arrange the meet afterwards.

I mean, its not as if its the end of the world or anything.

Just a little unveiling.

I already dance at the end of time.
