While it is not what i want, it is true. Look where we have come in just a
few short years? Remember when people complained about SSN and drivers
licenses? Now you need to give up your fingerprints to get a license. In 5
years it will be a DNA sample. Ever try to rent a hotel or car without a
credit card? I tried to fix a leak in my roof and the roofer refused to do
the work when I refused to give him my SSN. Let's not even get started on
healthcare and HMO's.
