Hi everyone!
Normally I don't write much here on the board, I'm usually content with staying in the background keeping things going here with bluey as my trusty sidekick. However, today, or rather last night, something was bothering me so much, I hardly slept. I don't usually discuss politics with most people, it's a topic which, like religion, can bring out the worst in people, but here goes.
How many of you that reside in the U.S. know about the National ID card that is descending on us next year? According to some 'polls' that were taken, Americans are in favor of it 2-1. However, that aside, how many know what it will mean to our freedom? I don't want to make this into a rant either, though I think it will probably sound like one.. I'm very concerned and to be honest, frightened about this ID card and what it's going to mean to the future of our lives. Do you know that you will not be able to purchase an airline ticket, open a bank account, take a cruise, and you won't be able to obtain a drivers license etc without one? And also that biometrics will probably be involved with it?? Meaning that most everything pertaining to our lives will be linked to the ID card. Scary stuff!! This ID card is being touted as the means to stop terrorism and illegal immigration, but it won't. For one thing, we're allowing trucks from Mexico through our borders right now and no one is searching them or a thing!! Who knows what's in those trucks! But I digress, read these three articles, they're very informative and can tell you more about this ID SCAM then I could begin to write here.

http://epic.org/privacy/id-cards/ <----- This is a VERY good article!!!
I feel so helpless, our government has far too much power and even writing this here, I wonder if anyone will even care? We should. Because when the Feds start telling us what we have to do, that's when I get angry and disgusted that our politician's our selling us down the river. All the current candidates, with the exception of one man is in favor of the ID card, and I would wager a donut that most won't even know who that one, brave man is??
And please, before anyone tries to tell me that the ID card is a good thing, don't bother, I know all about it, I've read dozens of articles about it, and I know what it's about... I'm just curious to see if anyone agrees with me and there's any room for hope or I should start handing out '1984'
Thanks for listening! Rant done now.....
