The key words here are, "It won't make you any safer". It sincerely won't. I am interestingly indifferent about the cards. The problems we face will not be affected in any substaintial way, let alone be solved, by this national card. The problems, and solutions therein, are much more complicated and start with external and not internal, policies. But that's another thread. However, if the government want to give it the good ole college try, they can be my guest. Tell me where to sign.Originally Posted by WyrreJ
My question is what historical examples indicate that this solution works? I'm not sure there are any, that do not entail some significant reduction or curtailing of human rights. What ever you may consider those to be. So is this the way to go?
However we must look at it from the perspective that the govermnet is trying to protect its citizens and NOT trying to affect some deeply rooted change in our way of life for neferious reasons. No matter how misguided we think the direction is.
Ah yes, thus is the delima of an empire. It expands, engulfs, embraces and assilimates so much of the people and cultures in the world during its reign, that is begins to struggle not to lose the very indentity it 'thinks' it had and not what is really and always was.. But I digress......
The logistical headache is enough not to embark on this plan. And that implanting of the chip in our skin, just creeps me out..
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” (Revelation 13:16–18)
And I'm not even a Christian!!
