Real Id.

[Gryph]

Why are we complaining about a dinky little card and not other, more serious things, like the Patriot Act. It's amazing how the American people are willing to ignore anything that the government tells us to.

This could easily be used in cooperation with the Patriot Act to tighten the noose around our freedoms. Notice how I said could and not will. All this consolidation under the the Federal government should be challenged. But isn't it rather odd that such a thing was tacked on to a bill that would definitely pass? I find it quite fishy.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What bill was it tacked on to? And can you just pin thngs to bills even if they aren't directly related?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It was part of this bill. More commonly it is called the $82 billion Iraq Supplemental Spending Bill. And yes, you'd be suprised at how people try to tack on special statutes onto every bill that goes through Congress.

Because it would be political suicide to not pass the bill it was attached to so they didn't really care.

So much fingering going on in this thread that I feel like I'm surrounded by bitchy feminists.

As usual, you have nothing of value to say. Why don't you just stick to spam and other useless topics where you belong, okay?

You think they can't hack into wherever you put your information now? I would hope they'd protect their systems more after a failure like that, too.

Which is it going to be? Cry or B!tch?

[Gryph]

My aren't you rebellious and cool. I'll bitch, thank you very much. Now unless you have anything half-way decent (which you don't) to contribute besides lame quips and psuedo-cool behavior, then just see your way out of here.

Oh don't be so hard on the man, he's a ninja.

Oh I forgot, I'm so sorry. Can I ever be forgiven?

Certainly. Just pray to the nameless gods.

You'd be surprised at the amount of smaller bills that get attached to larger ones in order to assure them passing. Many of them are irrelevant to the larger bill, and are often tucked away in so much paperwork that most people would never know they even were there.

 

As far as this national ID bill goes, it does irk me to a degree, mainly because i feel it can be misused to easily by the government. But all in all, I guess it would just be something else to stick in my wallet, and probably end up losing at sometime or another.
