If this doesn't prove that the average American is a cowering bunch of sissies nothing will...............

"The Obama administration is developing a "universal Internet ID" program that would watch, track, monitor and potentially control your activity on the Internet. These "trusted identities" are being touted as a way to increase safety and security on the Internet and as a way to eliminate the need for dozens of different usernames and passwords. But is a universal Internet ID that is issued and controlled by the U.S. government really a good idea?"

"Of course what that really means is that they want to shut up a lot of the dissenting voices out there because they are not "politically correct" and they don't agree with the version of the "truth" that the establishment media is constantly pushing.

Hopefully the American people will realize that a universal Internet ID controlled by the government would be another gigantic step in the direction of becoming a Big Brother police state. "

And there will be a way to get around it.

Not sure why people think there is privacy anymore.

Default We've had this debate before...

The Obama administration has asked the Commerce Department to look into a scheme for secure transactions on the Internet - a digital signature technology, making a certificate authority available and practical for the end-user.

Pretty good idea, if it can be done right.

The usual suspects are acting like the sky is falling. Film at 11.

It is, actually. Notice the lack of drama?

No "program that would watch, track, monitor and potentially control your activity on the Internet", because the author of the first link made that sh.t up.
