Qustion with the Real ID act

[FreedomAngel82]

Something I'm wondering with this. I was reading about this at http://news.com.com/FAQ+How+Real+ID+will+affect+you+-+page+2/2100-1028_3-5697111-2.html?tag=st.prev

and I was wondering if next year the democrats take back the government can they do away with this?

flipping stupid this whole charade is, they'll have to turn it around.

3. A bigger question might be...

if and when it does become effective, how can we as individuals oppose it?

Though most people will claim they presently oppose any form of national ID, I suspect that will change by the time it happens.
From my observations, too many sheeple already regularly give in to intrusive technologies (thumbprints at banks, quick passes, super-saver cards, biometrics at theme parks, etc.), all in the name of security or convenience.

I suspect safety and convenience will be what will be heavily touted to promote this too and more than half the people will likely roll-over and accept it as inevitable or even desirable.

So the problem is what form of refusal can the other percentage of us hope to achieve when it becomes official?

I admit I don't know the finite details about all this, having just heard of the story. But I suspect noncompliance will be more difficult then say, refusing a credit card, which while being needed for so many things nowadays, you are at least not legally required to have.

If however, they tie it into a federalized driver's license, they I don't see how any dissent can work (unless you walk everywhere).

4. They could, but probably won't...

unless it becomes a big issue.

Generally, with bad laws all legislators tend to let sleeping dogs lie lest they be called limp on crime or terrorism, tax and spendthrifts, etc. by their opponents in the next election. If they had a free pass, most of Congress would have dumped a lot of the crimne legislation passed over the past 10 years, realizing that it's not working as planned, but they're scared shitless of being slimed over any lessening of penalties. Same with the PATRIOT Act and a lot of other stuff.

Gotta get a movement together to overturn ALL of the Shrubshit that's been passed over the past few years, and that's a pretty big order.
