I still want to think this through, but on the surface, that's not a bad idea.

Heck, even the commercial for the Kansas photo ID mentions that a drivers license is sufficient. So, I am baffled as to why a drivers licensee wasn't enough for your wife to vote. Seems to me she has a strong case against the state of Kansas for infringing on her rights. I think two issues are bein...

Most other higher learning institutions don't accept credits from Grantham, and many companies won't hire people with Grantham degrees. Some might call it a diploma mill. Isn't it one of those that literally moved a ...
