We can look at a situation where a person will have their identity stolen from them for whatever reason, and have great sympthy for them. But when you compare the number of people who are legitimist citizens of this country and the number of these same citizens who have had their identity stolen from them do we really need to give up our liberty via a national id program. Once this is put in place you will at all times be under the control of a central authority. When you think about it this was one of the reasons why we broke with England. We as a nation are now and have been for over 200 years a free people. If we continue in the direction we will no longer be a free people, not as we know it today. If this national id idea becomes a congressional bill, hearings will be held, concessions will be made to special interest groups, and in the end what is being portrayed today as a national id system to insure protection from id thief and to render terrorist impotent will in the end give the government very broad powers and restrictions will be placed upon us that we will come regret this law. I believe I have history on my side with regards that 535 members of congress must have their say and in the end we the American people are the losers.Never trust big government or big business, in the end you will loose.
