Looks like we might be frighteningly close to having to cover our ID's in tinfoil. Wired is reporting that the house has passed a bill sneakily into legislation that is in support of the National ID. It's called the REAL ID. Freaky.

Dreaming of a safarii, watching the tigers roam, the codec clicking along like a solar sail against the sun, the signs pointing south, then north again, then all the way to Bahrain... The minimac is the dominate overlord waiting to be birthed.. The grid shall be enclosed by her embrace, wireless security, and all along the sec.watch dawgs be wagging their tales like a good flick, assaults on the precinctual data... I remember a time when they had BBS's, pron, gophers seeing who knows what, the dream of the vurt was so tasty, the vaz just dripping... Butterflies and chaos, the scene where her tsunami took over, insurgent, the ex-patriots acted with pride....
