Is that boot on your neck comfortable?
Incremental theft of freedom is barely noticeable until it's all gone.

Are you ready for your RFID?

This has been discussed in the UK and so far the resistance of the masses has worked.

Hopefully this goes mainstream here. Once something does, it awakes enough people to keep our bought politicians at bay. Personally, this is the first I've heard of a national ID card for a very long time. I think I may have heard of it once a few years ago, but I'm not sure. I see this as more centralization of a authority of the federal government and making states, and states rights more subservient. Our federal government already has too much power as it is, it doesn't need any more.

Couldn't agree more and the burning question in my mind is...what do you intend to use them for?

I could give a 3 word sentence that comprises of just two words, but then i'd probably godwin the thread. In the larger view, I think it's part of that blank check that was placed into the hands of our politicians post 911. National ID? They'll say it's to fight terrorism. In fact, no matter what the over reach is, they'll always say it's to fight terrorism; and too many of us will happily go along with it as long as we have facebook, stupid reality TV shows, and iPad like devices.
