You mean foisted. I don't consent to having a number ascribed to "me", yet I am barred from trading my legitimate labor for the means of exchange of the day without it. So I am forced to operate under color of compliance.

Wall Street area especially, so we'll know where to find them when the time comes.
Yeah, take a look at it. You cannot get a bank account, credit card or a job without it. All people now HAVE to have it. When it was first passed, it was specifically spelled out in the law that it was not to be used as an id number. How is that working out for you? Call a government office and the first thing they want to know is your governmental assign id number; ie your SSN. If I had known when I got an ssn what I know now, I would not have gotten it. I only got it because I joined the navy.

Sorry, we've had this, already: it was called nazism.
I really, really really would like to know why we need to think always to: war, destruction, enemies, war, destruction, enemies, war, destruction, enemies ... in an infinite damned loop.
The fact that scares me to death is not that every now and then someone jumps out of the blue claiming something like this barcode idiocy... it's that sometimes, similarly lobotomized politicians HEAR to them and try to convert this BS into reality through laws and rules.
Aren't we bored enough to see/hear/read such nonsense? Why don't we get rid of these fools giving them a real, hard, everyday W-O-R-K like we, normal people, have?
