National ID cards: Pretty Much a Done deal

National ID cards legislation will soon be passed for implementation within three years. The House of Representatives approved the package on Thursday by a vote of 368-58. Only three of the "nay" votes were Republicans; the rest were Democrats. The Senate is scheduled to vote on it next week and is expected to approve it as well.

When implemented there may well be a national data base that keeps track of every beer, bottle of wine, cigarette, train ticket, magazine you buy, doctor's office visit or everything you do. Big Brother is here.
