Tom Chaney: February 24, 2007: When the inmates run the asylum

by Tom Chaney

Time was in this land when one could flee from one's past, change identity and begin again. I think of my ancestor who married the woman of his desire, no matter the objection of family, stole a horse, and carried his new bride to the wilds of Kentucky.

West was the place to start over. When the burden of one's name and face became too oppressive -- or when the law was near at hand -- "Go West, young man," became the great eraser of identity. Take the new name and the new face. Be forever born again, and again, as needed.

But the frontier is closed. Try heading west these days. The banks can tell where you got money on your debit card. Your Kroger card shows where you bought groceries. Even the No-Tell Motel will take your plastic. A camera on the street of a new city records your face.
