Thread Name: BS: I.D Cards, are they a stupid idea?
Subject: RE: BS: I.D Cards, are they a stupid idea?
I've carried one since I was ten (military brat) and currently carry one. What do they need to know that they haven't already gotten from some internet service provider that you signed up with? Is it just paranoia that everyone worries the gov't will know when and where and what type of feminine hygeine product they just purchased? My mother won't buy a car with the on-star system because she believes they could track her with the system. I asked her if she was about to do anything wrong and she said no. Then why are you worried about them tracking you? There are too many nutcases out there already who believe there are people tucked away in dark rooms reading everything that is written on web pages. The last estimate I heard was that if one wanted to surf the internet, every single page, it would take 40 years, day and night, no weekends or holidays. That was about ten years ago. We'd have to have half the population watching the other half.
