IT IS a Scary Attitude -
Using the same mentality you could say something like
"hang all criminals - since I am not a criminal"

It's also in the same vein as the
"First they came for the communists ......" poem

Cash?? What's cash?? Most people I know carry very little cash, pay their bills online or through an automated payment process,etc. Hmm...maybe that tracking device will soon be implanted in every citizen as a means to purchase food and other necessities. Wink

Were nearly at that point now

Starting this fall? every credit/debt card transaction will be funnelled to the govt for review Shocked That was tacked onto the latest housing bail out bill

Unless you use cash, the govt will know about EVERYTHING you have ever purchased from now on. The IRS is already frothing at the mouth because they will be able to enforce out of state purchases where taxes are not immediately collected

Unbeknownst to most folks, the government is now requiring that all newborn babies are implanted with a chip to track them for the rest of their lives.

Absolutely not! Unfortunately Randy can't say the same. I guess it's also a good thing that I hate to shop. Wink

Believe it or not, it's getting even worse. The Bush administration has come up with new operating rules for the FBI that will allow FBI agents to investigate any US citizen including undercover investigations "without any basis for suspicion".

Pete B, do you still not have any problem with Big Brother?
