Stupid terminator movies always changing the time line. Lets go with 2012, it can become self aware and eliminate those pesky humans.
I for one welcome our robotic overloards and remind them humans make great batteries when kept in womb-like fluid.
"SS numbers, ID Cards, Etcetera" My point being that people have been interpreting things as the number of the beast, I would imaging since the revelations was written. The fact that it is happening in India is nothing new.
People in the US have stated that they think the SS number is the mark of the beast http://www.greaterthings.com/Conspiracy/SSN_SocialSecurityNumber_666/ I am sure that before that there are tons of other marks of the beast.
Maybe they all are and we are damned, maybe you are only damned if you believe that you are. That is the beauty of religion. Belief makes it real, at least the the believers.
From the US, and how long have you gone without using your SS number? Also no I do not believe in a literal translation to the bible. Just though it would be a good historic point. We have had the number of the beast be it SS numbers, ID Cards, Ect.
Clearly figurative, if you cannot figure out that the bible was written to explain things to people from a time period and that it has been translated a million times by many different authors, then you missed history class.
It can be interpreted to prove almost any point. Which is why it is so commonly used.
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Wait the us already has that. It is called a Social Security #.
I would counter to say that voters typically do not continue to elect the good ones.
"Conservative" that does not mean republicans, people who are ok with the way things are will continue to vote for who ever is in power because they are ok with the way things are.
Also once you are in power you have a whole slew of lobbiest that give you $$$ to pass there laws. This in turn finances your campaign and since many undecided voters vote off of name recognition this keeps them in power indefinitely. There challengers simply cannot afford to run against them.
I would admit that it would eliminate some good representatives, however it would also cause more people to have to take part in government spreading out the responsibility to more citizens. It would also limit the amount of time power can corrupt a "good" person.
...we need this on all elected positions. It is stupid that congressman X has been there 40 years and has accumulated so many favors that any of his pet projects get through and no real change happens. Why because the incumbent gets re-elected 98% of the time.With Term limits they would have to go get real jobs after say 12 years total.

Yes, Illegals that pay for fake SS numbers. Huge market, the important thing is that they let them back on the streets and don't bother to deport them because the immigration police are too busy busting websites that are linking to movies for Hollywood. Go AMERICA!
