Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

There's a lot of paranoia about that, around here I hear objections to that based on 2nd amendment issues and religion. I think it's odd as well since everyone already has a SSN.

As I understand it, the SSN was never supposed to be used for identification. There were fears of just such a thing and reassurances that this would NOT be the case.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm sure that I've been enumerated in the past 10 years.

Is that what you crazy kids are calling it these days?

Compassionately intolerant

Seriously!

There seems to be so much more effort to disqualify people than to help them to do their civic duty.

Voter registration efforts are grassroots while identity and disqualification efforts are national. What the fuck is up with that?

It stinks of 1984.

Yeah, here it is:

Social Security Cards up until the 1980s expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes. Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the message was removed.[9]

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Columnist: If you vote for Obama, you're going to hell

I suspect that columnist would think I was going to hell long before I pulled a lever for Obama.
