Just thought some might be interested. Boyd >From the February 1999 Idaho Observer: by T. Allen Hoover These laws violate Section 7 of Public Law 93-579 (Privacy Act of 1974): (a)(1) It shall be unlawful for any Federal, State or local government agency to deny to any individual any right, benefit or privilege provided by law becauseof such individual's refusal to disclose his social security account number. National Identification Cards are control tools in totalitarian police states. Our laws, supposedly to find deadbeat dads, create a defacto National ID with this law. Will other freedom-restricting laws soon follow? Like roadblocks to check child car seats, or suspected failure to use seatbelts as probable cause to effect a car stop (and a search)? As Mark Twain said, The last refuge of a scoundrel is the children. Ridiculing those who question our seduction into a police state is Politically Correct -- a phrase coined not by the liberal left, but by the late Chairman Mao Tse Tung of Communist China, whose tradition of executing political dissidents continues and whose money influences our elections. There is no law requiring one to obtain a SSN, so why has the legislature passed statutes demanding them? Why are children, at birth, forced to have a SSN to be an exemption on income taxes? Elsewhere, police have, despite other ID's, arrested people who refuse to give a SSN upon demand. Before boarding an airplane a Government Issued Photo ID is demanded, even though this is not law, merely an FAA recommendation. You cannot travel without papers. After WWII, Germans were asked how they had let it all happen, they answered, We all had jobs and the trains ran on time. Tacitus, the Roman General, from whence we get the word 'Tactics,' once said that, The corruption of a society can be measured by the number of its laws. My old SSN card states "For Social Security and Tax purposes-Not for Identification." Mr. Hoover is a Boise-area businessman who specializes in preparedness supplies. He is also an "armorer" who has been supplying the police and the public with body armor for several years. --------------------------------------------- The Idaho Observer P.O.
