1/2 the country doesn't have to support it. Only swing voters have to support in. those that will only vote for R's or D's regardless will not change their votes on the basis of this, but those in the middle might.
Hell, the religious groups in the US vote for Bush, even though he support china (and look what china does to Christians).
It doesn't say that SSN's are unique and never reused. It stats that each child is given a unique SSN, and when the system works correctly, they are. It isn't unheard of for cars to have duplicate VINs.
No, it will not cost more in the long run if done correctly. You write a standard and say in 10 - 20 years the new standard will take effect. When new systems are bought/written design them so they can use the old style and the new style vins. When the 10 - 20 years is up you switch.
I did read the article, you did not. If you have you would have learned to following.
Of 1,056 WMI codes available to U.S. manufacturers, 594 remain, according to SAE.
One solution that will be considered when the committee votes on a final recommendation in September or October is to reclaim WMI codes that are going unused in other regions.
More than two dozen countries, from Armenia to Zimbabwe, have up to 288 WMI codes each. All are dormant.
The group may also reclaim WMI codes from U.S. trailer, motorcycle and other manufacturers no longer in business. SAE doesn't have a precise count, but such defunct companies could be the source of enough WMI codes to supplement another 30 years of use, said Steve Ezar, manager of government and industry standardization at SAE.
Another possible solution: the WMI code could be revamped so that the third digit, which now indicates brand, will be freed up to denote different information.
For example, a VIN beginning with 5G1 now describes a Chevrolet built in the United States, while 5G2 identifies a Pontiac.
But in the future, 5G1 could be used to cover all GM products, freeing 5G2 for -- perhaps -- another manufacturer.
When you get in the real world you will begin to understand that such a change would cost a lost of money and there are other ways to increase the amount of usable numbers.
Seeing as how I listen to metal, play dungeons and dragons and do other things that conservative religious types disagree with, I THINK that would mean that I am not was most people would classify as a conservative religious type.
You would fit in real well at democratunderground.com and/or freerepublic.com. Both those sites believe in kicking anyone who doesn't agree with their god...I mean leader.

The damn article goes over several different methods that can be used to provide more VINs that require NO REPROGRAMMING.
It's not that hard to read, is it?
No, the Bush mars program is about getting him votes.
Wosh = Sound of joke flying right over your head.

That isn't nearly as disruptive.
Name them.

How does your 'solution' stop the need to reprogram every system that uses VINs?
Why not? How is it not ethical?
Rush agrees with most everything Bush does, that makes Rush a moderate. ;->
Well, the State of Texas is about 2.5 - 3.5 times bigger than the UK...
We are a large country and the pop density just isn't there to make it work.
Then buy a gun and kill yourself.
Perhaps someone is hoping that google will pay them off so this will not spook people who want to buy into the google ipo?
Because some people make it sould like Bush is above such things, and he isn't.

About your sig.
Well Bush lied about being a conservative.
Why? Is he covering more statues with curtains?
The parents buy the card and borrow the GBA from their kids.
;->
It's not that hard to figure out
Maybe not, but I bet the kids of those that go to these events are the target market for the GBA.
So how is your site, which can be used as a front for pump and dump stock hoaxes, doing?
IOW, you will only have friends that have the exact same beliefs as yourself?
HINT: One does not throw away friends for such stupid reasons.
UK Geographic size: 93,000 square miles
Texas Geographic size: 267,277 square miles.
We do not have very many brown out in Texas either.
