Ok, I've heard alot of things about this national ID card for the US especially now that presidential candidates are bringing it up. It's a card that will identify us and has our ss#, financial info, you cant buy or sell, travel on plane or train without it. It will even have our DNA somehow on it. Then the gov't will enforce RFID technology which means a chip will be implanted in the id card kind of like a GPS tracking device. We will be monitored at all times?? Doesn't this sound like invasion of privacy?? The RFID chips are already in the newly issues passports which explains why we NEED them to get back into the US now. Doesn't this scare anyone else?? Or are you guys even aware of this? I don't want to be monitored 24/7 or have this so called chip implanted in me! That sounds too much like Revelations in the Bible. If it sounds crazy, look it up IT EXISTS...it takes in effect May 2008. Is anyone for this? I think we should be voting for cadidates against this don't you?

Our government can't even be bothered to secure our borders. I don't see that as an indicator that they're interested in tracking ANYONE'S movements.

I don't think that any of us want to be tracked, but we already are in so many ways.
If you have GPS on your cell phone, they can track you that way.
If you have a Lo Jack on your car you can be tracked that way as well. There are so many ways that we are already being tracked and followed that it doesn't even make sense.
They track what you buy at the grocery store if you use the food stores card, so that you can save money. They know what you eat, what kind of toilet tissue that you use. Let's face it even being on the computer they can track you to see where you have been on the web. I don't think that any thing is sacred any more.
They track how you spend your money, every time you buy some thing.
But even knowing all of that, I wouldn't want to be like our pets and have them put a chip in me. That would feel like an even bigger violation, having to have a chip put into us would be the worst.
I think as people we should be more aware of what the politicians are really all about, where they stand on issues. It seems to me that more and more the government is attempting to take over the control the people. I say that because ever since 911, so many more of our freedoms are and have been taken away, or miss used.
It's up to us as a people to take a good look at where things are headed, meaning the direction that it's going. Sounds like the government is taking more and more from us as people. Freedoms are disappearing little by little, and we are being watched and monitored more and more.
We have to remember this, the people in our government were hired by us the people to do a job. We need to keep a good eye on what our employees are doing, and where they are attempting to take us with all that they do.
Some times employers (people) need to remind their employees (government/politicians) that they are working for the good of all of the people and not for them selves.

No. We're monitored all the time already. Every time you use one of those supermarket tags on your key chain they're keeping tabs on what you buy. Credit card purchases-same thing? Cell phones--GPS can track them through the sim card. I'm not saying I'm not concerned about the government taking away our constitutional protections, but I think you're getting a little carried away here. I actually think a National ID card could be a good idea. Depends on how they are used.

This is all the product of the white man. This proves once again that the white man is the devil!
But in Jerimiah, Daniel, And Ezikel, Yah is gonna take his children out of the land of Captivity (US) and take his children back into the land of their forefathers. Its gonna be violence on earth, and there will be rumors of war one woe in babylon, then another woe , then he wants his children (black people ) to be like the rams before the flocks and return to our inheritance of YAHRUSALEM.

A lot of people laugh at people who watch sci fi. But a lot of things we watch are waiting to be implicated. Logan's Run, Dark Angel and so on. They tag criminals, we subscribe to digital TV, we use mobile phones, Internet, cash machines. They already know our movements.

Know what else? You just got flagged by the government for asking this question. I'd watch what you say before you DISAPPEAR!

If you own a cellphone, they already know where you are at all times.
