A minor point if I may, something that I have mentioned somewhere before.

When your state driver license and vehicle registration fees go through the roof, a result of the UNFUNDED LIABILITY UPON THE STATES IN THIS LEGISLATION, as likely they will, just think about the following. If, BEFORE passage, the sheeple, perhaps including some who read this, but didn't or couldn't be bothered, had raised enough hell with their federal elected things, the bastards might have been scared off, maybe.

Monday Nite Football, or March Madness could not be disturbed by such mundane a consideration, and then there was Survivor whatever and Desperate Houswives in addition.

Oh hell, it's late and I'm tired.

What should we call it? The Immigration tax? The Terrorism tax? The Show Me Your Papers tax? John McCain's "national solution" for Arizona, fronted by Sennsenbrenner? What?

As far as what I or anyone should do about it, I would suggest automatically voting against an incumbent in the primaries unless they have explicitly demonstrated that Washington has not turned them into partisan mush. I would have to question why a person would even want to run again, somehow proud of what he or she does.

The quality of candidates will not get any better, because a smart person wouldn't want to waste that much time and effort or undergo brutal personal scrutiny, and for what? Laws and taxes people hate? A procedural process that is a collosal waste of time and not respected? Yikes!

It is a more respected job trying to keep these congress critters in line.

If I had to pick a name for a political party, it would be Reform Party, but the irony would be the intent to restore government that resembles constitutional principles. You can bet that States would recover some power, would collect most taxes, and that Courts would rule based upon existing law or not at all.
 
Its called setting a national standard and all states must meet certain minimum requirements.

Always simpler for those who don't want to look at an issue or deal with it to insist those who do are paranoid tin-hat conspiracy nuts. The only bright spot in all this is that those are generally the same people who will get burned first by what they don't know. At least we'll get to laugh at them...
 
I am reminded of the concept that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

I find all this recent paranoid labeling rather spurious. We are, after all, naturally defensive about why we might carry a gun. Are we paranoid? Some would insist that we are. My point of view is paying attention to reality and choosing to increase my chances of being a survivor. Can one go too far with it? Maybe, but who is going to say exactly when they will need to be prepared? Who can say when a gun is definitely not needed? Is it wisdom or paranoia?

Okay.

There will be NO MORE name calling on this thread.

You got something worthwhile to say, say it.

You think the guy on the other side of things is stupid, in denial, or paranoid -- keep it to yourself.

Capiche?

With respect for Pax and Art's Grammaw, I won't post what I think of those flipping out about this "National Mark of the Beast."

What I will post, however, is a retort to those who say that we're not paying attention. We are. It's just that it's way too late to get freaked out about this.

Remember this: Exactly what did you submit to the state when you got your CCW? What did you tell the bank when you opened your bank accounts? Are you on Medicare? What about last time you bought a car? When's the last time you took a survey over the phone or internet? What about your IP? What about your insurance company? Credit cards? Did you tell the cashier at Borders Books your email address? Does your car have a GPS or OnStar?

My point is, it doesn't matter what's on a federally-mandated ID.
They already know. All this bill does is just make it easier.

If you want to worry about something, worry about the government taking over banks. Worry about OnStar, and how they can unlock your doors (or lock them) and know where you are (even when you don't). Or heck, worry about the JFK assassination. Or the finer points of the AR-15 vs. AK-47 argument. Or 9 vs. 45.
