I'm not saying that to hurt you or your reputation. From my perspective your views are paranoid and illogical. From extensive experience debating people with similar beliefs I believe the best solution is to discuss your feelings with a doctor.
The chance of this system ever getting any further is incredibly small. The public backlash has been almost universal and the filters are already being exploited publicly. I honestly have no idea how you could rationally extrapolate 'scarlet P' letters stamped onto licenses.
- VLM 13y agoLOL you must be a lot of fun at sci fi and alt history cons, or any time people start brainstorming about greatly extrapolated trends. The 'scarlet p' is a literary allusion to a very old book of Hawthorne's, wikipedia link below. Some decades ago it was trendy to include it on the reading lists for school children, at least in the midwestern USA. As a piece of literature, its absolutely drowning in symbolism to the point of ridicule, although it certainly demonstrates the utter inhumanity of theocracy as a form of government, so its not all bad. Its has the virtue of brevity. And a scarlet "A" makes quite an appearance. There's worse ways to pass the time, than reading "the scarlet letter". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Letter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Scarlet_Letter
