Possible Solution to Bad Bills [Bills Pt. 2]
A “Read the Bills Act of 2005″ that would mandate legislators read the bills they vote on.
Here’s another excerpt about RealID:
bq. Voting Public: Hey, you can’t establish national ID card! I don’t want to have to show my papers everywhere I go. What happened to States Rights? What slimy politician tacked this on to a bill guaranteed to pass anyway? WTF does RealID have to do with troops in Iraq? What is this, Nazi Germany?
Bush & Co: ==*clears throat*== Terrorism.
Voting Public: Jawohl, Mein Fuhrer! ==*sound of goosestepping and sheep falling into line*==
And a possible response:
bq. Yet oddly enough entry requirements have just been relaxed for visitors coming from Saudi Arabia, where 15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers came from.
bq. Welcome to America, where common sense is second fiddle to political correctness.
bq. What’s even funnier is that IIRC the hijackers all had legit IDs, which were legitimately obtained.
bq. No matter what kind of fancy, high-tech shit they stuff into IDs, as long as there are greedy people in charge of doling out those IDs, people who want fraudulent ones will be able to get them.
bq. What’s worse, anyone with fraudulent Real-IDs will not get the scrutiny they deserve– people will just swipe the thing, see it comes up as valid, and not question it.
bq. It’s just the illusion of security, just like all the horseshit they put into place at airports after 9/11. Window dressing, nothing more.
