So your analogy doesn't apply. Yes it does, the analogy was to the database created by the government that was later used to slaughter millions of Hutsi. Was the reason given by the government for establishing that database, to murder millions of Hutsi? I know you are periodically confused but let me remind you we are talking about the US, not Rwanda. Databases are often used for alternative purposes once they are established, and you can't guarantee this one would not be used for other purposes. Yes, I can........it will be part of some legislation and will become a law. And you never answered my question. 1) Your question was irrelevant. Since your first position had to do with use of a database to discriminate, not whether the law to establish the data base discriminates. 2) In addition, I did answer it because I showed how the law targeted the specific population of people Obama identified in his campaign speeches as political adversaries ("love their guns and religion"). Of course we know what it will be used for.............the legislation will define its intent. Stated intent and the events which follow are often at odds. The claws of this entangled body of intention have hold of something beneath the veil and every lucid human being knows it. I understand you have an imaginary world where whatever goes goes............but I am dealing with the real world. If you want to have an imaginary discussion on this subject that takes place in an imagina ry world, then you need to post to one of your fellow wingers.
