I agree with you. But remember, its little steps. When they say they will put RFIDs in our new national ID cards(google real Id), and people complain, they will say,” but its in your passports already.”
Also, you do or will need a passport to go to Canada or the Caribbean.
In NJ, you must have ID on you.
And why would they wanna monitor Americans?? How about the 700,000+ Americans on the terror watch list. http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2007/10/860000-name-lon.html
Its all about the baby steps.
“Pastor Niemoller spoke for the thousands and thousands of men like me when he spoke (too modestly of himself) and said that, when the Nazis attacked the Communists, he was a little uneasy, but, after all, he was not a Communist, and so he did nothing: and then they attacked the Socialists, and he was a little uneasier, but, still, he was not a Socialist, and he did nothing; and then the schools, the press, the Jews, and so on, and he was always uneasier, but still he did nothing. And then they attacked the Church, and he was a Churchman, and he did something – but then it was too late.”
You should definitely check out this website about baby steps.
