Mike,

The Commission is a "tongue in cheek" organization......Since there will be many new visitors coming here....I should make that clear.

You have been around for an eon.....as you recall the famous Ratman posts....and perhaps even remember Wendell.....so I assume you know the Commission story.

We are a bunch of guys and gals who are long on IDX...and some other stocks.....and share whatever DD we can. IDX is the common thread....bringing internet people together.

Also.....I invented Ratman.....I know Ratman....I am Ratman.

I used to be much more concerned about Ratman.......because I thought that his beliefs may be similar to that of a major religious group. However, I have had many conversations with mainstream members of this religious group...and others.....and now feel that the IDX/IDT technology will not be a problem with them.

I know there will be smaller protest groups......speaking of "the mark of the beast"...and such......but I no longer believe they will have the political support or power to make any difference.

Christian doctrine..( I now believe) says that the "mark of the beast" will require people to also renounce their God in public. I doubt Visa or MasterCard will ever require people do this.....and would be very surprised if they ever did.

The index finger scan simply activates the card for use...like an "on..off" switch........It does not go to the FBI or CIA or guys in the black helicopters.......The FBI or CIA can track your credit card use anyhow.....index finger scans will not change a thing. I think 98% of the public will welcome the additional security.....and the other 2% will be just poorly organized noise.
