In my opinion, we are losing our freedom at an alarm rate right now. Having to carry a card which contains all our personal information is waaaaay too much like Big Brother!
I don't know how I missed this one because you all know I love to give my opinion on everything! I know marriages can survive adultery because I've seen it. I don't think mine could but I guess you only know when it happens to you. I think a spouse who cheats habitually doesn't have a chance but there are women and men who are in a marriage for reasons other than love so they stay. I do think it's uncommon for a couple to stay together after there's been cheating. I think cutie is right when she says it destroys trust and that really is the basis of marriage. I admire people who can do it because I'm pretty sure my husband would find all his stuff and a very large sign proclaiming his infidelity on the front lawn if he ever cheated on me. Fortunately we are at the age where we're both too tired to even think about it.
FTA: "Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill..." sounds like they're still "working to craft" it meaning it's not fully thought out. IDK maybe I read it wrong.
Even been fully thought out? They're attempting to pass legislation... It's been thought out. In a time where businesses are struggling there going to require new $800 card readers or they'll have to drag employees to government offices to be scanned.
This goes beyond businesses. If you don't question what they're doing before it's been done; it's too late.
To give a real example of why I immediately think something like this is potentially a good idea: What if my landlord hires an illegal & they hurt themselves in my apartment while doing work -> I have no idea if I can be held liable (though I'd be willing to bet that if I lived in California, I would lol). If my landlord weren't able to hire illegals then I wouldn't have that problem.
On the flip side, my rent might go up so... see now there's a reason for me to be against it :)
I love those things too. It doesn't sound to me like this card would take them from you. Boycotting something that hasn't even been fully thought out yet just sounds like baseless paranoia that's all.
Frankly, if you really need to be found like, today... you can be found. There is enough information out there on the average Joe to do that. In fact this biometrics card seems (keyword: seems) to only offer convenience, security, and a way to deal with illegal immigration which are all great. I honestly see no downside to it - BUT - it could be the case that that's because I'm judging the issue without knowing all the facts. In light of that, my opinion may change if I find the truth to be otherwise.
The reality is that my opinion on the matter will matter not to those making the final decision. So I won't waste my time reading up on it, and I certainly won't stress over it.
Hopefully you're not just paranoid from getting too wrapped up in anti-Obama/government politics?
