We Know Who You Are

My friend John at The Modern American expresses succinctly his (what I assume is) virulent opposition to the idea of a national registry of driver's license information, as reported in the Globe this morning.

While I do not share his antipathy of such a system, I have a huge problem with its creation being accomplished in the manner at hand -- being stuck in an outside section of a supplemental defense spending bill without the benefit of a hearing, study, comment, amendment, etcetera.

This is a matter of grave concern (even if I do sort of support it -- heh heh), and it should be accomplished in the light of day, where every American whose rights will be directly affected by it has a chance to put in their two cents. This is not an issue that should be handled the way $200,000 for a bike path in Toledo is (and that's the subject of a whole other post!).
