often I sit back and think the US has had its time with hegemony, but after a stint overseas and witnessing the fluidity at which people move in urban centers, I have to deduct that competitive advantage is still here.

going through the passport renewal process, i think about the different things that take you different places, where a passport will take you, what a department of defense common access card will get you, what a visa card buys you and where, so on and so forth.  the struggle for identity management carries on, slowly but surely tightening up, bringing with it pros and cons along the way.

I’m in awe of what can be achieved at a macro level, and i don’t think I’ll take more for granted again.
