I don't normally respond to children, but seeing as the big mean kids at recess haven't beaten enough sense into you, I'll give it a shot. I'm sure I made it pretty clear that the "lol teh government runs this country they can do anything they want bend over and take it up the butt cuz therez nothin u can do lolz" argument doesn't work. You clearly have absolutely no experience with any of the laws this country is based on, and have a very poor knowledge of American history. It's apparent that you've olny been around long enough to see a few presidents and probably feel good about blaming clinton for everything just like your parents do, despite you not being old enough to really know anything about him. You clearly don't understand the difference between communism, socialism and facism, and probably equate being muslim or of middle eastern decent as being a terrorist. The government only has the power that the people give it. If you keep playing blind sucker and supporting whatever makes your tax return bigger, you may not see the effects, but your children, in the unfortunate chance that you are able to procreate, most certainly will. You're telling ME to find a new country? Sorry, but the men who died to form this country would have quite a different opinion on that. Kiss ass and sell your soul and the souls of your children if you wish, but don't expect a warm greeting for being on the "winning side" if you do.
@concertina:You won't approach this from a reasonable technical view. I can't use reality to compete against your paranoia.Here is your tin-foil hat and sign.
Taken by itself, this might seem rather innocuous. However, in the context of the past several years ( National IDs, FBI mega-databases, eavesdropping programs, shelving habeus corpus, and on and on ) this is another chink in the armor of personal freedom and privacy.I find it especially offensive that they are using a state issued license, pertaining to an unrelated activity (driving), to ride this national ID upon. If they tried to pass a national ID without attaching it to drivers licensing, there would be mass refusal, and they know it. But people need drivers licenses to get by in our society. This boils down to quiet coercion.
I dislikethe ACLU as well, but they are right on this. The Real ID is not going to make us any safer. Thats not using your mind man.Ben Franklin said this... Thos who give up their liberty for saftey deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Good!We don't need more people knowing all our details. Again we are living in a Big Brother state - I bet George Orwell would be laughing right now at all this!

"Live Free or Die. It's true, and it's what everyone should live by."If we really lived by that in the US we all would have died a while ago. :(

Oversight, right... Create an agency of the government to control another agency. That worked really well in Soviet Russia!
