White House Frowns on National ID Card

sonic writes "'One security measure that [Homeland Defense Chief] Clarke didn't put much store in, however, was a proposal by some industry leaders, including Oracle CEO Larry Ellison, to create a national ID card. Clarke said he could not name one official who supports the idea as proposed, though he said the administration does not yet have a formal position on the concept. "Everyone I've talked to doesn't think it's a good idea," Clarke said. "

    How about an official Slashdot ID card? That'd be pretty cool, IMHO.

    Why don't you just try waiting a while before you post again in the Friction Forum?? Say, 10-15 years. The way I figure it, at your present rate of maturing, that ought to just about raise you to the mid-elementary level, where most children learn to exercise a little decorum. (Yes, I know, that's a big artsy fartsy word, but if you write it down real careful like, in 5 years or so you can look it up in the Dic-tion-ary).

    On the other hand, post all the feces you want. I really don't give a shit. We just laugh our asses off at how stupid you sound anyway ...
