Step one of big brother type bill...... frankly I don't want a national ID that includes that much information about me available to that many people.....what we have now is bad enough and causes enough problems..

When I first heard the term ' Department of Homeland Security', I knew we were in for a weird ride.....

I recognise the need and the reasoning behind such things, but I am also very wary as to how, where and why that information might be utilised. Big Brother, indeed.

I'm not a big fan of the concept period, but I'm particularly not a fan of the driver's license being the vehicle (har har) for this little adventure.

This is a blatent usurption of States Rights and I am very against it although I do understand and agree with the sentiment behind it.
