Say goodbye to anonymity on the web

It looks as though the government is trying to put together an online identity ecosystem. They say it is to combat internet fraud. I don't remember asking them to do this. Why does the gov't feel as though they have to know everything about everyone?

Meh.

 

They must have a reason to waste tax dollars on shit that shouldn't matter. That's how government funding works, you waste all the money you have so that you can get more money next time, then waste that.

Too bad they don't sponsor roadracers.
Them: Umm, Mr' Shy, why exactly did you spend $20,000 last year?
Me: Tires and entry fees are up gas prices are up, replacement parts costs are up....I need $200,000 this year so tha I don't have to stop racing 'research' by April.

 

Good God. Gary Locke..our former useless Governor, in charge of this. he's a liar.
