Combined with the Human ID program (which seems to be a good thing all by itself), this could do some serious evil in the wrong hands (think Hillary or Algore).

The whole thing smells of '1984' and Big Brother.

We essentially have Big Brother already. Centralization is just the finishing touches.

No...I take that back...we have to love Big Brother. That's how 1984 ends, and that's what's already beginning to happen now.

It isn't enough to take rights away...rights taken by force are reclaimed by force...you have to make people want to give them away and that's what Homeland Security is for. If people give something away willingly, only their descendants can get it back.

I feel like such an idiot now. You're absolutely right about this smacking of 1984.
