LaCosaNostradamus's Journal: The Identity Fraud Topic Made Me Lose Control

It's 11pm, and I have to get up at 4am to hold some Cisco VPN router's hand. Gotta be there at 5am just in case something goes wrong. Shit. And then I chose -- freely and of my own will -- to catch some Slashdot.

That's when I came across the Identity Fraud Countermeasures topic, and after reading a bit, I fired off two posts in reply.

It's too late, and now I'm too angry. We are such sheep. People are so scared of business systems that are obviously setup to scam them out of all their capital. They just go along with the gag, not realizing (a la The Comedian) that it's all a joke and they have taken it too seriously.

I've watched people fight back on the debt thing. All kinds of charges are laid on us today, fraudulent and otherwise. Businesses have taken the upper hand, but that hand is rather tenuous and can't exert Adam Smith's legendary force if we stop believing. Once we stop believing, we see the smoke and mirrors, and the truth comes out. We are not powerless. We can fight. And we really can't be made real victims of identity theft, since we did NOT setup the fraud-prone systems that allow the theft to happen. The con is upon the business world.

The sheep have irritated me tonight, and it's time to bow out lest I lose all my position. Good night.
