Big Brudder

Do we need to fingerprint all school kids?

This is not enough. All humans should be rounded up and exiled on some small planet from which escape is near impossible, too remote from other planets anyway. Then intelligent life in the Universe would be safe from those barbaric mad hairless apes.

Maybe this already happened?

If they fingerprint us immigrants, then why not the natives.

There are pro's and con's to this of course, but as a law abiding resident I have nothing to fear by my fingerprints being on record.

As a parent, having a positive ID for when the kids go missing would be a comforting idea.

Hmm, what are the con's then?

Invasion of privacy? My goodness, that means they can see which stores I went in and paid cash, or just window shopped in! They can tell whose car I was in.

Someone could steal my fingerprints and do nasty crimes.

If I ever get murdered, not only will they smash out my teeth, and resequence my DNA, but they will also cut off my fingertips so that my body can't be identified.

Scary times.

Seriously, if you let them fingerprint you, then having the barcode tattoo or the subcutaneous RFID chip does not seem as much of an infringement. Lets get that GPS implant now too - oh I already have it, that's my cell phone!

Hmm ... you may want to read a history book or two. Or indeed switch away from FauxNews every once in a awhile.

Who knows? With a little bit of blumen' luck, they might even wipe themselves out for good. Just give then enough fossil fuel and toxic chemicals.

"FauxNews", that's a good one.

Beware of identity theft, it's happened on this blog before!

I've never seen a "hairless ape?" Is there a special zoo they keep them in?

It's a very worrying trend. And what's even more worrying, is that no one seems to stand up to this.

The zoo is called "Planet Earth", and the hairless apes go by the technical term of Homo sapiens.

It is told they have developed weapons of mass destruction which they frequently use "for fun", and indulge into acts of needless savagery which no other beast has ever committed. Like torturing their own young and knowingly endangering their own species.
