What do you think about the National ID Cards (Federal ID #'s) being issued by the Government in May of 2008

My feelings are mixed. I used to think it was a good thing, since it would eliminate all the regional driver's licenses, id cards, and voter registration, and was much more difficult to counterfeit. Now I'm not so sure. If they can just "turn off" your card, that gives them a lot of control over your life. But it is now a fait accompli unless we get Congress to overthrow or alter the law, which probably won't happen, since it is being done mostly on the basis of stopping illegal aliens.

Edit: For those of you who don't think this is happening, here's a website. http://epic.org/privacy/id-cards/ That's an opinion site. Here's wiki's article on the legislative history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REAL_ID_Act

To the best of my knowledge the mark of the beast is a spiritual mark received after going through a secret ceremony performed with the aid of witchcraft/demonic powers by Satan's Secret Underworld Government. Beware of the New World Order. Don't play or practice any occult games or activities such as Ouija boards, tarot cards. Magic art (a precursor to transcendental meditation) etc..... These so called games can cause spiritual bondage to witchcraft/Demonic forces.

One more way for the government to take away our freedoms and to (try) controlling us. I would flat out refuse to have them!

bad trust me

we will be controlled like sheep, the next step is a chip installed in our body, if they dont like us for anyreason-- they will block our chip ending all access to LIFE- food, bank, health. do ur research and speak out-- all i can say.

Since you insist on making things up, how about you provide us the link to the news story or press release or article or any credible source for this rediculous comment?

For Stuart - it is true.

I think--What evidence have you that such cards will be issued? Sounds like urban legend.

I think it sounds eerily like a driver licenses.

Is this actually a R&S question?

Big brother will be watching!
