How Creepy Can It Get?

This is why I say America is over. I am so in love with the memory of her but she no longer is here

See my tag line.

And so we must accept without question or complaint ever broader, ever more intrusive government -- up to and including being catalogued and monitored like paroled felons. Even if all we've done is run a red light or failed to wear our seat belt.

Once upon a time there was a Country called The United States of America...it was known as The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave...its memory is quickly fading away...

It can get alot creeper. Take this little finger printing issue and multiply it by 10 thousand. This beast that is beginning to demand and devour more and more personal information will not be satisfied until the system can crack you skull open and read your thoughts, control your consumption, even schedule (demand), your presence at a certain place at a certain time. Even question breaks in your normal routine.

You will not even be allowed to purchase or sell without permission. At present the "Know Your Customer" going on at banks, where the bank questions any large deposits or withdrawals, has your thumb print, and will ask you flat out why you are withdrawing so much money is already going on. The Court shot down the "Know Your Customer" practice instigated by the IRS, but approved it for the DEA.

Here is a creepy example of your future grocery card/chip:

Gee, Mr. Jones, we see you are consuming far too much alcohol, for the benefit of your health, a limit has been placed on your ability to purchase this product. Your identity chip will only allow you to purchase so much per month. If your consumption of alcohol products has to do with business entertaining please contact us for an increase in your allowance.

Mr. Jones, we see that on 12-19-2015 you requested an increase in your alcohol allowance for a party, yet a satellite check of your residence revealed that no one was in attendance at your address and no other identity chips could be picked up at your location. To file a false request for an increase in any product carries a fine of $200.00. Since this is your first offense we issue you this warning ticket, please contact this number and confirm the ticket number with the representative there to assist you.

Yes, it can get a lot more creepy than at present. Our kids see nothing wrong with this, our school system will and does see to that. Already young people have far less fear than we older people do of all this technology and where it can lead to.

California began fingerprinting driver's license applicants as long ago as 1977 (when it was optional; it's now mandatory)

I wonder how the phony immigrants and criminal aliens will get around the fingerprinting if they want a California drivers license.

I think the criminal aliens and phony immigrants should just use their real Mexican ID, after all it's perfectly legal in the US already!
