ID CARDS MAY BE NEXT
(Editorial ~ 11/04/94)
Big Brother has always sounded sinister. The idea of having a government-imposed identification smacks of human branding or the tattooing of a number on your forearm. But in California, the issue of how to control spending billions of dollars annually on illegal immigrants has brought wide support for ID cards. This is one of the core issues of the Golden State's Proposition 187 on next Tuesday's ballot...

(Letter to the Editor ~ 11/04/94)
To the editor: In his column Oct. 31, Jack Stapleton correctly points out the irony of politicians who attack government as being terrible, but want to be a part of it. Libertarians do not fall into that class of politician. We see through all the "trust me" promises that have been foisted upon us by politicians over the last several decades.
