National ID card, desensitized, ready, willing & wanting

A most interesting encounter at the Costco Pharmacy counter today. Watched as a purchase was made of one of those items with psuedophedrine in it. Such a purchase requires that the pharmacy personnel write down your information from your driver’s license. Watched and waited as that was done and then stepped up.

Commented to the young lady pharmacist assistant that it must be a real pain to have to write this information out umpteen times a day. She said it was a pain doing it and that she sure would be glad when everyone had that universal ID card so she could just swipe it. Trying not to miss a beat, I said, oh, you mean that mandatory state driver’s license or state ID card that everyone will have to have. And she says, yeah, that’s the one - will be a lot better.

No, I didn’t take it any further. I have heard similar rationales and reasons given by folks for this national ID card in the guise of a state driver’s license or state ID card. Today’s comment from this 20 something, bright, articulate pharmacy assistant just stood out because it was so casual, so practiced, so easy for her to say. Somewhat beyond desensitized. Overly ready for a magnetically encoded identification card.

I do believe that the percentage of the population that even recognizes the situation is very small. The percentage of the population willing to speak up about the situation is smaller yet. The percentage of the population willing to DO anything about the situation or to stand against the situation, well, look around. It is an easy count.

Sooth

Realistically its not like they cant already do that with a drivers license. I've been to several concert venues in the dallas area, they swiped my texas drivers lincense, no national anything, and printed me an Over 21 wrist band. The database is already there....i really am not sure why people are just now complaining.

Ambros-

Do you have the ability to verify the information assigned to you on your magnetic strip? Is it possible, as with identity fraud, that the deeds of someone else could haunt you without your knowledge? Sort of like a magnetic Scarlet Letter. All the while you are rescinding your 5th. amendment with every card swipe. (We have the right to remain silent, or we can continue swiping)

I heard it said, "Smart cards are for foolish people, you cannot give up privacy and retain freedom."

Happy mag-trails.

Well, my point being in posting this little vignette is that while it is inconceivable to most of us that people would readily and willingly accept the so-called mark of the beast, the fact of the matter is, they already are. The younger generation, schooled or unschooled in things religious, know what they know. And what they know is that in their day-to-day lives electronic records and databases and magnetic strips are just normal. They make life easier. Swipe a card. No cash required.

You also see clerks examining every $100, $50, $20, $10 and sometimes 5’s and 1’s. Why? There is a lot of phony American paper being floated out there. Clerks don’t examine plastic as a rule. Swipe your card. No problem. No hassle. No phony paper.

It all conspires in little bits and pieces that have been building one on the other for many years. And now it is all normal. They know - That’s the way it has always been – why are some “old” people even questioning it. Some people have already been chipped. Some want to be chipped for the convenience of entering their favorite night club. Some want it for “safety” or so their body can be identified. Some want it to give medical personnel ready access to their medical history. And oh so much easier when the Authorities say, Papers Please at the airport to simply pass your biometric chip over the scanner. Go right on through Sir – not like the unwashed masses who still only carry paper identification.

It is happening before our eyes and will continue. And remember, if you have done nothing wrong, if you are of the right group, the right church, the right political party, the right thought process, and have been doing nothing untoward on your home computer, you have nothing to fear.

Sooth

YES SOOTH ... the magnitude of sheeple and DGI's is mind boggling! Even in N. Idaho I see it every time I go to town. But, in the not-so-distant future WE will be label subversives because WE DO GET IT! Get prepared ... it's coming quickly ... faster than you or I can imagine!

Another interesting 'stupidity' observation is the fuel wasting insanity I witness while driving my self-imposed maximum 55 mph. People - you know, the ones that complain about the price of gas at the pump - are speeding away from every stop light and stop sign. Braking begins no sooner than 50 feet from a light or sign. When the light turns green it's pedal to the metal. No one seems to understand the most basic fuel saving driving habits!

Amazing levels of insanity are everywhere!

If she' ready and willing to accept a national ID card, I would argue with your characterization of this young lady as "bright".

I think you misunderstood the point of my post. Do i want it? No. At the same time....why are we just NOW making a deal of it? The databases are already there. The mag strip already has our information....so....why just NOW throw a fit about it? Its already implimented on a state scale at least in texas...i would assume elsewhere as well... If people really cared as much as they say they do...it wouldnt have been allowed to go this far.

I guess 30 years of flouride in the water really has dumbed the population. Throw in antideprssants and aspartame, well you get the picture.

If i could use it INSTEAD of paying for a $140 passport, i'm for it. Otherwise, it's redundant.
