system would help put a lid
* on illegal immigration. [Reagan had been Governor of California]
*
* But Anderson, who at the time was a domestic advisor to the President and
* sat in on this particular cabinet meeting, spoke up and gave the group
* something to think about.
*
* "I would like to suggest another way that I think is a lot better," he
* told them, serious in demeanor but clearly being facetious. "It's a lot
* cheaper, it can't be counterfeited. It's very lightweight, and it's
* impossible to lose. It's even waterproof."
*
* "All we have to do," Anderson continued, "is tattoo an identification
* number on the inside of everybody's arm."
*
* His reference was to the tattooing of numbers on victims in Nazi
* concentration camps. Survivors still bear the dreaded tattoo markings
* to this day.
*
* Mr. Anderson described the stunned reaction of those present, "There were
* several gasps around the table. A couple cabinet members looked as if they
* had been slapped. No one said anything for a long time."
*
* Ronald Reagan, a consummately wise politician who professed a belief in
* Bible prophecy, caught the implication [about The Mark of the Devil].
*
* He then hushed the cabinet and efficiently dismissed the National ID Card
* proposal by sardonically remarking, "Maybe we should just brand all babies."
"Those that give up essential liberty for a little
security, deserve neither liberty nor security."
- Ben Franklin
