Memories of Texas....
When we travelled overseas via commercial air through certain countries we were told that policy is we must use our official passport when transiting the airports, but unofficial policy is that you always use blue until that one doesn't do what you need it to do... that treated me well... only used my red one once and that's because my blue one expired while outside the country (didn't have time to get it renewed before I left).I went 21+ in the USAF without ever having one. Everywhere I went a military ID and orders worked. I remember a friend in Iceland calling the "official" passport the "red/shoot me first" passport.
Do you own a passport?

Are we over the 10% mark on INGO?

Now, imagine Texas with Brazilian steakhouses being brought to you at lunch, no truck time, and a giant armory to have your pick of guns, and wine from grapes grown on the estancia.
I have one and have used it recently. However, there were many years when I was younger that I didn't have one. I visited Canada twice without having one, but don't know if the requirements have changed since then. I think one thing relatively unique to the US is that there isn't much reason to have a passport unless you have the money to afford a ticket for a long airline flight. I can see why everyone in Europe would have one, it's not a big deal to hop on a train and go to another country. Here, visiting another country is something that requires enough planning that it isn't illogical to wait to get the passport when you actually need it.
We had a student from Germany live with us during my senior year in high school. He kept complaining about why we didn't just go see the Grand Canyon or something like it on the weekend. We finally took a trip to see Washington D.C. and he was utterly astonished at how long it took just to get to the Ohio state line.
