Though I think that video is a bit extreme, I do oppose the national ID.

The video is taking it to the extreme but something similar is bound to happen. Their link doesn't work though! National ID ~= Mark of the Beast??

we already have a national ID card, its called Social Security. This is a bit extreme, every civil rights activist group would utterly destroy any massive invasion of privacy like that program shown here. No one needs to know that much about me when I order a fucking pizza.

Yeah, it pretty much is. I don't know about you, but I didn't exactly have much choice in getting an SSN.

True, but if it is destroyed or lost you are not forced to get a new one. Unless of course you want a passport or something like that. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
