Real ID: You Can Still Fight It
toupsz writes "Bill Scannell has created a website where anyone and everyone can fax their senators regarding the Real ID Act. Note that the act is up for vote on Tuesday, May 10th!
All those against the Act might want to go to Bill's site: UnrealID.com.
Thanks, Cory from BoingBoing!"

So... where are these terrorists? Have you met one? Honestly, I don't think the terrorism issue is as big as the current administration likes to lie that it is. Here's the way I see it:
:)
1. If the Clinton administration did this in the name of protecting us from terrorists, the anti-Clinton folks would be crying about jackbooted thugs and saying that there's no terrorist threat.
2. The Clinton supporters would say, they don't see a problem with the concept.
It all depends on who is in charge. The Repugs didn't trust Clinton because of his opposition to many of the things they believe they are entitled to. Now it's the reverse and the Dems and Liberals don't trust Bush for the same reasons. However, being an average real American, many of Bush's policies (and those of his administration) threaten my way of life. So I have a good reason for not trusting the man.
What's extremely funny is that all the anti-"Big Government" folks who support Bush are saying, "I don't have a problem with this". So, one of the requirements of being a right-winger (or libertarian since most of you guys are just Repubs that want to smoke pot) is that you can just turn off one of the major tenets of your belief system if it's inconvenient? You'll note that liberals/democrats never give voice to being afraid of "Big Government", so they don't have to turn off any of their beliefs. Hehehe... typical right wing illogic.

You know, most people get worked up into a lather when some kind of outrage happens, like a child rapist is set free or not punished harshly enough. But on slashdot, the moderators would never consider publishing a story about NAMBLA using the internet to publish rape kits, and the legality of that. Oh no. Their liberalism compells them to focus on whatever DNC talking point drivel of the day is. They pretend like their lives are coming crashing down, when the reality is they will still be in mom's basement 2, 5, even 10 years from now with not much difference at all. Grow some freaking gonads you cowards. Save your outrage for a worthy event.
