Are Americans aware that the National ID card is coming into effect May 2008? EVERY American citizen MUST have one...without it, you will be denied your bank account, driver's license and the right to fly on an airplane. (to name a few)
In return, you will be giving your government all of your personal information.

Answer 1

Wow. If I didn't already know for a fact that this administration was a sham to bilk this country out of billions I would scoff at this until I actually folded my own and saw it. This man is mocking us.

Answer 2

You must realize that the Real ID act only "impos(es) federal technological standards and verification procedures on state driver's licenses and identification cards..."

So no, not every citizen MUST have one and not every citizen will be monitored by big brother. This is just a move for the ID cards and driver's licenses that are already issued by states to meet federal standards.

Now, in doing so, one can postulate that this is simply a step in the direction of a national ID card and that we should be careful.

But why? It doesn't matter.

If you have a driver's license, then the issuing state has all of this info already. The federal government has access to this information. There really isn't any change occurring here except that the licenses and ID cards issued by the state will now meet federal standards and verification procedures.

Have a look at the minimum data requirements of a Real ID card:

"To meet the requirements of this section, a State shall include, at a minimum, the following information and features on each driver's license and identification card issued to a person by the State:

(1) The person's full legal name.
(2) The person's date of birth.
(3) The person's gender.
(4) The person's driver's license or identification card number.
(5) A digital photograph of the person.
(6) The person's address of principle residence.
(7) The person's signature.
(8) Physical security features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting, or duplication of the document for fraudulent purposes.
(9) A common machine-readable technology, with defined minimum data elements."

Wow. Sounds JUST like a driver's license to me.

Want to know the real reason that people are against the Real ID idea?

"The National Conference of State Legislatures estimates (pdf) that that the cost to the states will be more than $11 billion over five years. This is more than 100 times the $100 million cost that Congress initially estimated. For 2006, $40 million was allocated for start-up costs. No more funding has been allocated, and it is likely that the cost will be shouldered by the public. The Department of Homeland Security has estimated that REAL ID will cost $23.1 billion over 10 years."

Money.

Which is fine. I can get behind that! But the whole "the gubmint is gunna find you!!" argument is tired. If people want to oppose this legislation and ensuing taxes, then they should be up front about it and say that they simply don't want to shoulder the cost for a "technologically advanced" ID system that really isn't any more helpful than a state issued ID when it comes to validation of information.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

The folding dollar is ancient (Sorry, its just that I saw it back in 2002). The National ID card is an idea not a reality. More likely a national database of linking all 50 state drivers licenses will come into existence. But what are you paranoid for. They ALREADY have all of your information if you work or pay taxes or have a credit card or a phone and permanent address. Don't believe me? Try robbing a bank and then using your credit card or cell phone six states away and see how long it takes for them to find you. Every word you type on the internet can be traced to you years later. Its too late to start getting paranoid. They already have your information.

Answer 4

Yea, and if you fold a Mexican 100 Peso bill into bisecting quadrants, you get remarkable approximation of the Last Supper of Christ painting, by Leonardo Da Vinci

Answer 5

Cool origami. Bad reasoning.
Belongs with the Bible Code and using the dictionary for prophecy.

Big Brother? Do you support gun ownership? Are you against giving more money to your government? Are you against illegal immigration? We already give the government all the information you mention to get a driver's license and to get on an airplane and to get an account. If they wanted that information, it's right there. They just want to put it all in one place rather than keep entering it over and over. Some of us would like to limit illegal use of airports, documents, and money.

Why is it that the people that scream conspiracy most and hate President Bush are so often the very ones that want to make our government socialist, give it more money, etc.

Not this poster specifically (you'll have to read their posts for yourself), but it's getting silly.

Answer 6

yeah.. we Filipinos saw it in news..

Answer 7

ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW...AND I FEEL FINE!!!!!!!!! 8OCLOCK 630 DUNNO THE WORDS TO THAT SONG.
