A program to standardize state driver's licenses to create a de facto national I.D. should use a third-party -- most likely a private contractor -- to verify that a person is eligible for a driver's license or state identification card, according to a document provided to 27B by a privacy activist. The document appears to be a portion of the rules that Homeland Security is proposing for the program, which are currently being evaluated by the Office of Management and Budget before they are presented to the public for comment.

They already do.  We no longer own the cement factories, the steel companies, the car companies.  Farm conglomerates are owned by foreign interests.  Our ports are controlled by multi nationals.  And most of the bonds we sell go to other countries.  Talk is open on selling our roads.  Some have already been sold.

Well, when it gets too bad, we'll go to our closets and get out the.......
