If you were not aware, tomorrow the US Senate is voting on a National ID Card.

It's bad for many reasons. (Of which that list is but a sampling.)

If you're a US Citizen, and you'd rather this bill not pass, Fax your senator a message. (The fax is done via html form at that link.)

Fantastic. Clearly Bush thinks that in order to understand a dictatorship you must actually become one.

The UK government has been trying to push for one of these sort of schemes for a while ('it helps prevent terrorism!') but it's so universally hated that they dare not speak it's name lately.

I was curious about this and did a search on Google News, where I stumbled upon this half-assed agrument for a National ID Card which I thought was funny.

The Hong Kong police can and do stop people at random and ask them to produce their ID cards. It is not uncommon on the streets to see a couple of policemen huddled around a young Chinese man, inspecting his ID.

Yeah, this would never have passed except they attached it to the Hugs for Kittens bill.

Really though, aren't your privacy and autonomy small prices to pay for the peace of mind that comes from knowing that kittens are being well-hugged the world over?

That's my campaign slogan. Vote Khross in 2008.

Ah, an article from the Christian Science Monitor. Trust a Christian website to agree with stupidity: break the habit of a lifetime..

Just for the record, as far as I know, the Christian Science Monitor in reality involves neither Christians nor science.
