"The True Terror Is In the Card."
Faced with rising crime, illegal immigration, welfare
fraud and absentee parents, many bureaucrats and members
of Congress insist that the nation would run more
smoothly if we all had counterfeit-proof plastic
identity cards.
Let's be clear that this is a one-way street. Once
having established a requirement to carry photo ID, it
will be difficult if not impossible to reverse.
Don't we realize the dangers of allowing the Government
to establish identity and legitimacy? Isn't it, in fact,
the responsibility of the citizenry to establish the
legitimacy of the Government?
