[QUOTE="SeniorGeek, post: 204849, member: 4823"] [SIZE=3][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/SIZE] I hope his proposal is more compact and readable than the current not-even-a-bill-yet proposal. Reading this one-paragraph description, I began to wonder if Paul's proposal will make it so my birth certificate will not be enough to show I am a citizen. Will I have to prove citizenship of one or both of my parents? Will that require proof of citizenship of one to four of my grandparents? Maybe some national system of registration will have to be established, to simplify the pedigree process and make it easier to determine who can be a citizen. With that national database of citizens, we won't have to put up with quite so many requests of "Show me your papers, please". We could just get a barcode or something. Many countries do not automatically grant citizenship to the native born, but I think they grant permanent resident rights to anyone native born. Otherwise, they would be creating people who are not citizens of any country - would they be called "philistines"? They recognize that power we give to our government is likely to eventually be used against us! When there are two sides of the same coin, each side thnks the other side is a rectal orifice. They do not care to see how much they are alike. I found a line by P.J. O'Rourke that describes one difference between our two major parties: [B][I]"The Democrats are the party of government activism, the party that says government can make you richer, smarter, taller, and get the chickweed out of your lawn. [/I][/B] [I][B]Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work, and then get elected and prove it."[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
