29. If private entities, like a movie theater, sports arena, church...

Walmart, a resturant, or any other private conern wants to see them, I have no problem with it. And if I dont have one, too bad. I dont get to go to that movie, service, ball game, or get to shop or have dinner there.

I am not for gov't authorities stopping people on the sidewalk asking to see their passport just for them being out and about. If that's where we're headed, they ought to just give everyone vaccinated a badge or some other symbol to wear on their clothing. (Definitely a bad idea!).
