Pushed into global ID

Half a century ago people had to be reassured their social security card was not being used for identification. Now there are federally standardized and globally synchronized ID cards, government-sponsored online ID projects, DNA databases, and even secret databases of your newborn baby's genetic information and nobody bats an eyelid. How did we get here, and how can we break this conditioning?

Some will say, "so what? I have nothing to hide". Not yet, but you will. We all will. Oppression changes everything.

Good post. I have nothing to hide except my own guarded negotiating secrets, generally speaking. Other than that, what would I hide if I am honest, for lack of a better word? There are many things we must shelter, like where our kids are in a dangerous society, but for the most prt, what in the hell is wrong with an ID? Hey, do you fellers finally agree that someone wh ...[text shortened]... ne, checks out a library book, or buys a gun, or votes for our leaders, should prove their identity?

If our government stopped invading other countries there would be no terrorists to protect against. Terrorism is a reaction. Our government is creating terrorists and using them as an excuse to take away our rights. All blame can be sourced back to our corrupt government.

The notion that terrorists hate us because of our freedom is absurd. They hate us because we keep ...[text shortened]... ne country for understandable reasons. We still occupy 1/3 of Syria. That is an unprovoked invasion.

You need to acquaint yourself with def of invasion. Of course you libs think the aliens crossing the Rio Grande into our country are not invaders, so, you may have a difficult time dissecting and diagramming the definition.

You turkeys throw in references to cartoon characters or 'dragon skull' people (rolls eyes) which is lost on old fellers like me ! I cant even type it right!
The Skull Dragon, now there is an example of cultural clash! Esp Bahamut.

It's your own beloved headless chicken Marjorie Taylor Greene who invented this one, Joe. I was only making the point that MTG and MB are of similar mental capacity.

Now you will of course try to duck out of looking silly by claiming never to have heard of Muzz Taylor G., but spare yourself the trouble: you're fooling nobody. Except perhaps Metal himself.
