It's even worse than that. Some people insist on forging their own chains, and then wrapping themselves in those chains and hammering the links into place.
It's pretty pathetic to watch people "voluntarily" surrendering their liberty to intrusive government edicts.

I don't see what you are both talking about. We already have a system in place in this country that requires employers to check ID. I don't know how long it's been since either of you got a new job, but I know that for at least the last 15 years, every new job I was required to show a social security card and valid identification before being hired, and that this was government mandated.
This program merely provides a database that employers can reference, not new laws about requiring identification. Far as I can tell that's it. The only people who would not benefit from this would be those who are trying to hide their identity, or people who've stolen someone elses identity, both categories could include illegal aliens or other criminals.
Also if you read the article it is the people who would come up with a way to let others know which businesses weren't in compliance. Not the government. And it would be the people, not the government, who boycotted those businesses.
