I wanna be your lover...
On a recent talk radio show I heard, a Larry Ellison of Oracle Computer was discussing a recent push to make it initially voluntary that every US citizen have a national ID card. This would be a card with a photo and thumb imprint imbedded in it containing all you personal information. In his opinion, it would make it easier to determine who "belonged". The White HOuse has initially said no go, but there is a push by some members of congress (Richard Gephardt, Diane Fienstein) to implement this system. Britain has recently mandanted "voluntary" ID cards of this type. However, if you do not get the "voluntary" card, you will not be able to purchase any type of transportation ticket, open a bank account, obtain government services, etc.
This is akin to needing "papers" to do business or travel "freely" around the country.
Some my questions are:
1. Is this the beginning of the us moving towards "the mark of the beast?"
2. Will you get the card or not?
3. Do you think the government will use this tool as proposed if it becomes a reality?
With the passage of the new terrorist bill, which we already know officials WILL misuse at their discretion, hearing about the card concerns me deeply.
