Andy77, do you really believe that in the US your vote is what makes the difference? Let me be the first to inform you that while we have a one vote per person and the majority wins system, we are only given the notion: The majority only wins when our votes aligns with that of the gods behind the scenes - big business and lobbyists.

I don't believe in the 'gods'. I believe in A single God. Further I do not believe that God chooses to control every insignificant policy. He will intervene when He wishes, and nothing will thwart his plans. So in essence, I do believe that voting does matter.

Andy77, in the US, your vote only matters when it aligns with the votes of big business and lobbyists. There are countless instances in the US when the votes and/or wishes of the people meant nothing to government elected government officials seeking to be gods: 1). In 2000, we had a president who did not win the majority and obviously unqualified for the White House given to us, and because of whose acts - Patriot Act II and MEHPA - we no longer have any civil rights. 2). Current nationalized and mandatory health care is not result of wish of the people; 3). The US in currently in Libya killing and being killed against the wishes of the people and the majority of Washington DC. Need I list more? You are only given the notion that your vote counts. And hope you now realize the "gods" I mentioned above referred to big business and lobbyists, as I clearly stated.

I just checked on the metro card. The only time you need ID is if you are getting a discounted card as a student, senior citizen so they can verify that you qualify for the discount. Otherwise, you don't need ID at all. In fact, if I wanted to I could order one online RIGHT NOW, without ID. https://www.ridemetro.org/FareInfo/RequestQCard/Webform.aspx You're wrong about library cards there too. There is no photo ID requirement. All they ask for is proof of address. "Library cards are free for everyone. You must provide proof of your mailing address when applying for a library card. " http://www.hcpl.net/about/library-cards Sure sucks when your entire thread is based on lies doesn't it?

Traskr you beat me to it. Not fair I say not Fair.

Taskr, I said computer card. I do not know about your City, but in Space City, one could have a library card (required for checking out library items) or just a computer card to use public library computer. To have a library card, you once only had to present proof of address - a photo ID or Voter registration card or bill receipt. You could also obtain a computer card for computer usage only without ID or even name required. A non-Houstonian could obtain computer card without question asked. That is no longer the case in Houston public libraries. Currently, you MUST present picture ID to obtain a library card or computer card. The agents allege new ordinance is to limit people from having multiple computer cards and using computers for more than two hours per day as allowed. While it is true that people could have multiple computer cards, I also know that the computer cards, like library cards, all have unique serial numbers, and are programmed to allow only 2 hours usage per day. You could and can still use up your 2 hours per day on library card and then 2 hours per day on your computer card, and so on. If I, for any reason, still want to use library computer for more than 2 hours, I can still do so. The point here is mandatory tracking of activities of library patrons. There were some folks (myself included) who never used library card for computer usage. Yes, I do not believe it is the government's darn business what I do online. The government is supposed to be managing and balancing budget of City, State or Nation, not minding my bloody business! Now they are telling folks that without the paranoid government peering into what we do, we cannot use library computers funded by taxpayers' monies!

I remember accusing Metro in 2008 of electronic surveillance when it introduced the Q-card and instituted mandatory registration for replacement (even if rider may have unique serial number of lost card). Metro refused my allegation and said it would give rider option of not registering but rider would risk non-replacement if bus card is lost. We took risk. But sometime in 2010, metro stores in Downtown Houston stopped selling Q-cards with registration. Without a picture ID, metro staff in 1900 Main Street in Downtown Houston (the one of two metro Houston Downtown stores now selling Q-cards) will not sell you a Q-card. You are not going to put a mark on me! I will still buy, sell and conduct business, and all without the mark of the beast!
