Dave Why stop at DNA-tagging? Back in 1970, two psycho-surgeons (read that any way you want) Mark and Ervin, advocated psychosurgery for violence. In their book, _Violence and the Brain_ (1970), in the Nixon administration, and among the usual media-cast (talk shows, etc.) identifying, tagging and lobotomizing POTENTIAL criminals was advocated and cheered. Never mind that those identified in their early years were almost inevitably of a different "race" / ethnicity, social class, linguistic, educational and "wealth" background than those doing the recommending. This was to be based on "objective science", just as IQ tests were used at Ellis Island, where, as one example, close to 80% of Jews were found to be "feeble minded"! (Could you, at this instant, pass an IQ test administered in Mongolian?) Face it: Orwell was right! These British are idiots ... (too) ! Gordon C.
