i think i just remembered why i have that one hoax article emailed to me
instead of going to the site to get it. but how long will it take the whole world
to implement such a scheme? (i guess that, for the time being, good old
paper passports would be used to travel to countries that haven't.
the trouble is that it would make it more essential than ever that the
card isn't going to be lost, stolen or damaged beyond usability. | |

| i have had some very interesting debates with
people here. there are several who do not agree with me about
religion's place in one's life, but imho, they don't disrespect me
because of it. on other subjects, sometimes i debate (which means
that i argue one side - not that i am trying to evangelize),
sometimes i comment and sometimes others posters agree and
sometimes they disagree. |
either you contribute to the group's purpose (which is to mostly
have fun, but sometimes people have fun discussing serious
subjects) or you don't. you either help drain the swamp or you
don't.

| public as to age, address, and whatever else the
issuing government wants on them. this is a convenience to the owner,
merchants, law enforcement, etc. primary impetus seems to be to
some how 'impair' the freedom of terrorists' so they can be
tracked/kept out of your country/whatever. now number one has been
around for years. depending on your location, a different issuing
agency's card (as in a different state or country) may not be accepted. we are dealing with people with an organization that should
be able to generate i.s that would be adequate for their needs. if they' really
want something that will be permanent and hard/impossible to fake, how
about tatoos? a country code followed by a number. |
| want to change your
number then you need a plastic surgeon and time. i'm sure everyone will
remember this has been done in the past, when, by whom, and to whom. road blocks where
ever the authorities feel like it plus the expected sites such as
trains, air terminals, ferry terminals, border crossings between
countries, border crossings between states/provinces/shires/whatever. |

you have too many parking tickets, you get checked, you get arrested.
perhaps sarcastic but i do not trust anyone who thinks this way. with
databases and computers in our cars i can think of all sorts of things
that can be/could be done to us all in the names of security" and "law
and order".
all i ask is chance to that can't make me happy. |
