"Another way you can look at it is, it could be a way to SAVE your freedoms. We're in a touchy situation - and I don't understand all the ramifications....But I would like to trust our leaders until proven otherwise. I doubt there are few things the gov doesn't know about us. It's probably a way to cull out the non-legals."

You're naive as hell. You trust 535 people, too many of whom were Gary Condits to throw out Klinton, to "save your freedoms?"

Look at Nam for an example of how much you can trust Washington. Hoaxed Gulf Of Tonkin "incident" of LBJ's got 58,000 GIs killed. And the draft didn't end because Washington wanted to; it ended because "civil disobedience" was so rampant that the draft effectively got to be voluntary.

My parents and grandparents lived in the U.S. through all of WWII - all the way back to Pearl Harbor - and none of them ever had to carry Nazi-style "papers" in the name of Washington saving their freedoms. I won't either.

I just don't consider them NAZI-style papers.
