Reply #129: Why, nonconformist? Do you think the government's "need to know" "protects" you from something? [View All]

Do you feel safe knowing that nobody out there is pretending to be you?

That anyone who claims to be you will be questioned until he/she
(i.e. you) can prove identity?

It is just more creeping authoritarianism designed to give the government the power to grant and deny the right to vote, just like they grant and deny permits to do anything else, even congregate in the town square.

Of COURSE almost no permit requests (except the ones that obnox them)
will be denied, provided you pay the attendant tax -- in this case a
poll tax, er I mean permit application fee to vote.
