We are already being watched......

The issue with a national identity card and/or finger print scanning and/or DNA data bank from birth (which I'm in favor of) is like anything else.  It isn't the technology, it's how it is used.  The atom was initially used for destruction, but it will eventually replace fossil fuels unless we first harness the power of the sun and that will also happen at some time in the future.  

I've flown around the world and I've never seen a border anywhere.  People are the same where ever you go.  We are one world.  We are still replenishing the earth and in the process of doing that we are learning to live together whether we like it or not, and many folks just plain don't like it.  In the USA alone, 20 million cases of stolen identity each year!!!!  DNA and finger print technology can virtually eliminate that.  You cannot stop technology, and it will get even easier to use and more common place.  (England today is tracking zillions of people on the street with face recognition cameras backed up by computer technology and they are catching criminals with it.  Another BRAVO.)  

The danger is not from an external international new world order.  It never has been.  The danger is from within, those who want to control us in the name of morality and religion and they have a humongous jump on it.  The right-wing has already created a "terrorist watch list" and have put individuals on that list who have not agreed with Bush and his war.  The FBI has already overstepped their bounds by monitoring far more telephone and internet communications than they were ever authorized to do, as has the NIA, and the Pentagon.  These are the things we need to worry about, not a national identity card.  We have already been hoodwinked by a bunch of totalitarian revisionists while they try to distract you through the myth of an international conspiracy.  The problem is internal, and it is now.
