identity theft

[http://dummy.us.eu.org/robert]

It just repeatedly amazes me that, with every story about identity theft, 
nobody points at the core of the problem: the social security number.  The 
social security number was originally created only for The Social Security 
Administration; but, since its creation, it is now the key to credit, bank 
accounts, drivers licenses, medical records, and even video rental histories.  
If use of the social security number for anything other than for The Social 
Security Administration were prohibited, incidents of identity theft would be 
far more rare.

Kim -

We spoke at the RSI Drop-In about your having a command-and-control grammar.  
Do you have this in computer form and are you at liberty to share it with me?  
This could be quite useful for the project I'm working on.

Thanks,

robert
