For a dead woman, Laura Todd is awfully articulate.

“I don’t think people realize how difficult it is to be dead when you’re not,” said Todd, who is very much alive and kicking in Nashville, Tenn., even though the federal government has said otherwise for many years.

Todd’s struggle started eight years ago with a typo in government records. The government has reassured her numerous times that it has cleared up the confusion, but the problems keep coming.

Imagine when they try to force us on to ID cards. Talk about some major screw ups coming. People lives can be wiped away with one click of the button. Here is an example of people lives being wiped away not even on the card.

What's so bad about being 'wiped away'? I don't enjoy master having a permanent record of my life.

I really can see this being a nightmare scenario for someone who does not have the wherewithal to survive "off the grid." Another fine example of the negative affect of government control over our lives. What these people are going through probably feels a lot like being just another football watching citizen one day, to being homeless and hungry the next.

But of course, the solution will be to demand more red-tape. You will probably see more and more stories like this. It's psychological conditioning, to get people believing that the entire system needs to be "overhauled and streamlined." In comes all new national identity procedures. Starting with the card, ending with DNA verification to get your food ration.
