I never said the government was acting in my best interest.  I was just
saying that there are enough checks'n balances to keep it in-line.
Sure, individual events may seem out-of-whack, but the eventual sum-
total over time results in a good balance.

At least the best we know of, even if it's not that good.

What I originally was implying is that it's the financial companies
pushing for a lot of these new IDs, even more so than the federal.
And it wouldn't surprise me if the media was involved too.
