CVS cards customers over nail polish remover

I get it now: All the free-floating hostility against "big government" ginned up by the Tea Party is actually in support of the "right" of big corporations to be as fascist as they want to be without the government saying they can't. Silly me for thinking it meant something different back when I was young and foolish.

Drugstore giant CVS now requires customers at all Detroit area stores to show an ID just to buy nail polish remover. Because libertea.

We need a law to prohibit stores from carding people for everyday purchases like this unless there's a robust legal basis for doing so. Putting up red tape just to buy nail polish remover isn't what I call freedom.
