"To start with, giving a number to people is a violation of our individual human rights," said Eiji Yoshimura, one of the protesters. "We have absolutely nothing to gain from this system." Gasp! and to think we have 8 number social security number. I remember Soljenetsin talking about those nuns in the Gulag who refused to get a prisoner's number because they thought it was satanic. The soviets gave up on them. However, to get new prisoners' underwears, the bureaucracy requested a number. Result was the nuns' underwears fell appart but they held up.

Our Social Security Numbers are just to be used for tax purposes, right? I mean, like, the government agencies and the private corporations wouldn't use our SSN's for any other purpose, would they? Gosh, if anyone knows any different, let me know. I'd really appreciate it.
