ooooo, ooooo letme try this one teach!
Gun Ban- Gun confiscation has not happened, is not happening, and will never happen. Obama just released his plan for gun control which is attempt a ban of some guns and magazines, tougher regulation of gun re-sales, expansion of mental health initiatives (something the NRA itself wants), and expanded background checks. None of this will result in gun confiscation or wholesale bans on you being able to defend yourself in your home. Unless you think you have the right to get into an arms race with the government (have a funny feeling that you do) none of this is off the deep end. But the GREAT thing for you, is that this probably won't even come to pass because we have this thing call the Legislative branch, that is probably going to kill this thing. You know why that's possible? Because we live in a flawed but mostly functioning Republic. Not a dictatorship, a Republic.
RFID Tracking- So because a school wants to keep track of their students (because schools are kind of in charge of a student's welfare) that equals big brother? As someone else already pointed out, the card does not have her social security on it, and do you have any proof that she would have to show it at random intervals throughout her daily life? So how does this impact her, other than a school that wants to keep track of their students?
What I find funny about "privacy" is that it is an abstraction now. You know what the best way to track someone now a days is? 4 square. Facebook. All of these are set up by private companies, and all of this is 100% voluntary. Hopping on Starbuck's wi-fi? You're tracked. This isn't Big Brother, this is imaginary friend that you tell all your secrets to, with twin brother in the room. We are our own spies now, and we give up more information for the information cullers at the CIA than ever before , with just our own status updates.
Higher Taxes/Out of Control Debt- What higher taxes? Oh you mean the tax cut that expired? The temporary measure that was suppose to expire years ago, didn't, and then were basically renewed? You do not have a right to Bush era tax rates. I know lots of people think that Bush's tax rates were some sort of golden mean that were what the founding fathers and God meant all along, but they aren't. We still have tax rates well below those of St. Reagan (save for one year of the Reagan administration, 1988) so "higher taxes" is relative. Add to that, Obama was very up front about his tax platform, people voted for him, and that's how the Republic works.
As for debt, well if you want to be a deficit hawk then be my guest. The US government's finances do not work like a typical household, and so deficit spending isn't the scourge of the nation some people think it is. In fact, during times of high unemployment spending is considered by many economists to be the solution. But above all, the lower, divinely inspired Bush Tax cuts were creating a funding problem which is what lead to the turrble turrble deficit. We are in the process of restoring balance, but that doesn't mean you go hog wild and slash everything. That's stupid. That would lead to panic. That would lead to more people being laid off. That would lead to hoarding money. All of these things are bad. Deficit hawks remind me of those people who wear rubber suits when they run. It's not enough to lose weight, it's gotta hurt. If you aren't punishing yourself, it ain't worth it.
So you've brought up a few apocalyptic predications by Oracle Alex Smith, that if you squint hard enough, resemble actual predictions that have come true. These sound like the usual "predictions" that pretty much anyone can make.
