Not passe, but in many ways, I have no control.  I have a very unusual
last name-there are only like two families in the US.  At least it is
hard to spell, and maybe I am in the database as 50 different people
under 50 different spellings and carnivore hasn't linked it
yet....wishful thinking, I know.  The least I can do is to try not to
give them anything they don't work for.
My license is good for 15 years.  Probably the next time I need to renew
I won't be able to see to drive-going blind here-so I may not renew.
But they have my fingerprints..
I've never had a passport and while I dreamed of going to Finland one
day, I suppose financially, that is a pipe dream that is up in smoke and
gone with the wind.  I don't see myself getting a passport in the
future.  I have enough credit, two cards total, one solely my name and
one joint card.  One is paid off and the other will be soon.  After
that, I hope I never need any more credit.  Our vehicles are 14 and 16
years old, but I hope that the next vehicle will be a cash purchase.
I'm not a flashy person, and with the exception of this list, I keep to
myself.  I am more open with you all than I am with even family and
neighbors.  I have already moved to the country, have started my
homestead, and try to reduce my dependence on utilities and I remind
myself that I have to still make changes and not relax in preparations.


**The fact us soon everything from clothing to food packages will have rfid 
chips.  Someone with an RFID reader can literally drive by your house and 
read the RFID tags inside.  They will be putting them in everything.  right 
now it cost about nine cents per tag.  I read that when they get the cost to 
two cents per tag, that bar codes would no longer be used; everything will 
have a passive, constantly broadcasting tag.


I don't have a cell phone or any kind of GPS device...not gonna let them
track me. It would be pretty useless after a few days anyway.  I resist
using my social security number.  I don't use those little scan cards
that all the stores want you to use. I have a bazillion number codes and
passwords that I change frequently.  I do other stuff that I won't write
about, just to be prepared, you know?  I might not have all my assets in
one place, and I may have some 'untraditional' assets. :)


***If any of the stuff you don't won't to openly write about is crafty and 
not well known that I might not have read somewhere, please private email me, 
if you don't mind sharing your secret.  I have such a common name that no one 
could track my email  (I hope).  



If the sheeples are running to jump off the cliff, I'm generally the
eccentric holdout, you know, the one who "hasn't joined the 21st
century".  I'd have no clue as to how to use a blackberry, send a text
message, download music to an ipod, or play a wii with someone online.
VOIP?  I know what it stands for and what it is, but I've never used it.
 I'm archaic and I like it that way. :)  The less I can disconnect, the
better.


*** Everything you just wrote applies to me also.  I honestly thought I was 
the last person that didn't use all of those things.  I don't use a cell 
phone (my wife carries one, in case of emergency), heck I've never even seen 
a blackberry or an I-Phone.



While I still have some freedom, I have to protect myself as best as I
can.  And since we have been talking about elections and politics, I am
a Libertarian because they emphasize personal responsibility and less
government.  Gene was right that the leadership in the LP has been a bit
kooky, but at least I can be pretty sure that the kooks aren't part of
the master plan, and that those kooks are aware that the THEY of the
Illuminati, the Bilderbergers, and other secret groups actually exist
and are a threat to the ideals upon which this country was founded.


***I don't know anything about the two groups you mentioned other than the 
little I've read on conspiracy type websites that I've stumbled upon 
accidentally.  I just know that I'm too damn old and aggravated to allow the 
blasted government, and the bankers for which the government seems to work , 
to number me like a hog at a sale pen. Feel free to share any knowledge that 
you have that can be verified (like the RFID stuff, which is a fact); a lot 
of the conspiracy stuff is not much interest, unless it can be proven.   .  
I'm a Ron Paul / Barry Goldwater type Libertarian.  Some of the people in the 
LP are freaks --too far out there for me.  Thanks for the conversation
