[QUOTE="DOC HARRIS, post: 588457, member: 1683"] There is no question about this subject - It is EXTREMELY controversial. Much of the strong feelings and opinions regarding Universal Identification methods and it's being made MANDATORY for everybody stems from our (The citizens of the United States of America) [b]SOLID AND DOGMATIC INSISTENCE[/b] on retaining our [b][i]FREEDOMS![/i][/b] For citizens of other countries who do NOT enjoy those senses of what [b]FREEDOM[/b] really means, it is hard or impossible to explain. It is hard, and sometimes impossible, to explain those philosophies to our own citizens. We are experiencing that almost unbelievable phenomenon right this very period in time as we struggle through this Presidential Election - attempting to differentiate what is fact and what is NOT fact in the debates between the candidates. The emotional sensations that dedicated and patriotic American Citizens have toward retaining and preserving those Freedoms are more [b][i][u]GUT WRENCHING[/u][/i][/b] than most citizens of other countries can understand! Because the population of the United States continues to increase, and with that increase comes more complicated problems involving those Freedoms - those of us who fought for our sovereignty and unique orientation and role in the World guard our Rights and Freedoms with an almost vicious and savage tenacity! Anything which tends to arouse our ire in seeming to threaten those freedoms is met with an almost vicious and savage tenacity, and instant retaliatory objections. Thus we are faced in this discussion with a possibility which Brandonm22 described: abridging our freedoms. It may be difficult to put this philosophy in words which other nations can understand - but, suffice it to say, WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, [b][i]GUARD/b][/i] our unique and special position in the World with a tenacious resolution which is unmatched anywhere else. We don't like or appreciate being told that we HAVE TO DO such and such, or that we WILL do something, whether we like it - or NOT! Not even if it is in our best interests - {[i]according to - somebody?![/i]} We are a proud and stiff-necked people, and justifiably! (or at least we used to be when I was a young man!) Perhaps this will help you understand why we sometimes seem reluctant to accept something that seems sensible and straightforward to others - but not to US. DOC HARRIS[/b] [/QUOTE]
