Thanks, AD. Nothing new there, but he does present his arguments in a nice, orderly, and easily understandable way. Of course, I agree with him 100%, and the national i.d. card, which will become fact very soon, is a frightening development (gun control, which I see coming, is another frightening development, as unarmed populations are more easily controlled).

I don't think he is out-of-line suggesting we will probably be implanted with rfid chips at some future point (the 'mark of the beast' from the Bible?). It is simply the next logical step. One thing he said really struck me, and that was that post 9/11, under the guise of security, our government is forcing us to take the national i.d. card, whereas if security were truly the issue, they would simply close the borders. Good point!

Certainly throughout history the common man has allowed himself to be exploited in one way or another time and time again. But certainly, in comparison to other exploitative regimes, we in America today have a very comfortable lifestyle -- at least for the time being! That could change in future.

Time to think again about buying that condo on the beach in Rio or Buenos Aires. . .
