Organizations worried about the potential for e-voting problems have long-advocated for audit procedures by which votes cast by e-voting machines could be verified through audit trails.
We are in fact moving rapidly toward having a national ID, something which bothers me greatly. We've always been a nation in which the mechanism for providing identification, primarily through driver's licenses, has been a function of the state governments.
It gives the government far too much power and also could subject legitimate gun sales to a rather heavy tax.
That is true, I do object to the level of your memory, it's apparently pretty low,
What prompted me was we finally have two governors (Napolitano and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson ) finally doing what the federal government should have been doing all along. That is, that we truly have an emergency on our southern border. She actually did something.
Far too many people have been swept into the post-9/11 system of fear that is the basis of all public policy these days.

Think hard down the road to a future administration not occupied by the people we have now. We have to keep that precedent in mind: That gauntlet, if we throw it down, will be taken up by someone in the future that we really don't like and be used against us.
The solution's going to have to come from our schools,
Privacy is the most fundamental of all freedoms. In fact, it is the foundation for all of our freedoms.
