Not only do I strongly disagree with Bush’s opinions on stem cell research, sex education, abortion, family planning, and global assistance, but I absolutely hate him for attempting to pass Real IDs.
Basically, they are going to be government issued ID cards with information about the carrier stored in them electronically. In addition to this fantastic (notice my sarcasm?) invention, the ID cards will also have a locator chip in it. Basically, a built in tracking device. Which is ironic, really, beucase this ID will probably replace state IDs and drivers licenses, so we will have to carry it on us at all times.
Invasion of privacy much?
Granted, I’m sure there are some benefits to this Real ID business, but I see more problems than solutions. Granted, this is 2005, but I refuse to have a tracking chip in my wallet providing the government with my exact location when I’m doing nothing wrong. If I’m kidnapped, they can find my ID card. But, yah, kidnappers are obviously going to know about this. So are theives of all sorts and kinds.
What are they going to do? Establish a 1-800 number for people who have lost their IDs so that the government can let them track it? Fuck that, that’s bull shit.
I don’t need a tracking chip and I don’t need a federal ID. I’m just find with having a state ID, license, passport, social security card, and birth certificate. I hope all of you who voted that bastard into office are kicking yourselves while our president diminishes our chances at curing AIDS, solving the lack of organs worthy of donation, and allowing our nation’s teen pregnancy rates to increase due to sex education (or rather, a lack thereof) that doesn’t really teach anything about sex.
I will go on the record saying this and I don’t care, but I really wish someone would just kill Bush and end all our misery. But then again, not so much because we’d be stuck with Cheney. Either way, we’re fucked. Red neck white men who bought their way through college should not be Presidents of our nation. Hey! I know! Let’s elect someone who wants to force Christianity on every person who lives in America! That will help us!
Oh, we already did. And we’re screwed.
