I find the whole birth certificate obsession to show just how stupid the
powers that be are.  Precisely what does a birth certificate in hand prove?
That *someone* was born on a x day in y month in z year.  Doesn't prove
*you* are that someone.  There aren't any pictures that go with them nor any
identifying statements (blonde, blue eyed, etc.) or fingerprints or anything
that makes it anything more than a piece of paper anyone can buy.
