I don't have one available at the moment, or I'd quote it directly. Of course, we all know there is nothing equivalent in the civilian world, where the SSN has become a defacto National ID number. -- "Blind faith in your leaders, or in anything, will get you killed." -- Bruce Springsteen ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
