Developments in Facial Recognition

*** begin quote ***

“A driver’s license is not a matter of civil rights. It’s not a right. It’s a privilege,” she said. “Yes, it is an inconvenience [to have to clear your name], but lots of people have their identities stolen, and that’s an inconvenience, too.”

*** end quote ***

“Privilege”?

In the suburbs, it’s essential to travel.

Is this another form of population control?

When did I decide that the Gooferment has the power to restrict me from going to the grocery store?

How did I agree that the Gooferment has that power of me?

I don’t remember signing that.

Maybe I do need to go on strike against this and all the other Gooferment intrusions.

Oh yeah, I am!

Power to the people.

Note that the Gooferment can’t even do this right!
