Is that I don't know everything.
But I'd love too. So why isn't science working on finding a way to input large volumes of data into the human brain?
Perhaps they are... The ability may not be available to the general public just yet. After all, the military has to fuck around with it and make sure we aren't able find out all those nasty "National Security" secrets.
Because that can't happen. Can it? The general public can't ever find out that the Governments of the world are merely using each other, and the mainstream media, to compartmentalize and assign blame for their own failures.
When the shit hits the fan and Osama Bin bogeyman and his evil cohorts strike with deadly accuracy within a supposedly "safe" area what do the government do? They take away our freedoms and tell us that if we had ID cards none of this would have happened.
This weeks bombing in London has given the UK Government a perfect opportunity to push through their ID cards scheme. And the silly thing is that most people have fallen for it. Like fish taking a worm with a nice shiny hook stuck in it's middle.
Having a national ID card does not prevent anything. Just like having a law against something doesn't prevent people from doing it. It only makes you realize your actions may have consequences. If you get caught, that is...
There are laws against murder but people still get murdered, there are laws against rape but people still get raped, there are laws against child abuse but Catholic priests continue to fuck choir boys and say mass without bursting into flames and being cast into a firey hell or being prosecuted.
I carry in my wallet three forms of ID, A drivers license, a bank card and a national insurance card, all of which have at one point or another in my life been used to identify me in some capacity.
In the past I've been stopped by Policemen while I have been in possesion of personal supply amounts of highly illegal substances and have walked away from a potential jail scentence purely by showing some ID and acting as a member of the public is expected to. Smile at the nice policeman, answer his questions correctly and politly and don't look suspicious.
And then there is the question of suicide bombings... How does carrying a new form of ID prevent them from spreading chaos?
If you were a suicide bomber, who got stopped by a cop who wanted to see your ID card and you didn't have one, would you really give a fuck about pulling the trigger and doing what you were going to do in the first place? I don't think so. I think you'd yell out to whatever invisible deity you are blowing up fellow human beings in the name of and would yank the cord that seperates you from a big splattery death.
If you want my opinion, or even if you don't, I'd say stop worrying about it. The chances of you being blown up by a suicide bomber are very small. The chances of Elvis crashing a UFO into your house are smaller.
Forget about the fact that you could, potentially, die at any minute from one of the many things that kill humans each and every day. Be they terrorists, power tools, drunk drivers, freedom fighters, railway crashes, tornadoes, gas expolsions, lightning strikes, dog attacks, drownings, falls, aircraft crashes etc etc, and keep going.
So how do we defeat terrorism? Smile happily and go about your day. That's how.
