    Unfortunately, that boat is sinking.

    I love my country... I've served my country. But things are going to start falling apart, one way or the other. Either an external threat is *really* going to do us damage, or we're going to rot internally.

    Terrorists can blow up skyscrapers but they can't change the American way of life. Only stupid politicians can do that. :blink

    I'm not convinced
    throughout history the free world has proven it won't stand for tyranny whatever direction it comes from

    at some point, somewhere, the people will make a stand and say 'are you ****ing kidding'? and it's days like that that keep us free, because no matter how fair you make the system, how many checks and balances on day one.. a few hundred years down the line it will of changed, and people will of forgotten what it was their ancestors died for.

    “God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion…. And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms…. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Thomas Jefferson

    It's been a bit longer than 20 years.. but the message holds true

    We're long overdue... To be honest, I look forward to the day. Not regarding this issue... but for hundreds of others.

    It's mind boggling to know how much information the Feds already have. Even if you're not a US citizen. Now they'll have the picture to put next to the data.

    The Big Brother system does a lot of damage in the PR department and little additional help on the security front. Maybe sterotypes will become the next security feature - wait isn't that a step backwards? :blink

    What gets me, though, is - new database of distinguishing physical characteristics. Aren't Americans one of the leading world consumers of plastic surgery? :rolleyes:
