Too bad that didn't happen to me.  Perfect situation.  Long lines,
ticked off people, and in the middle of checking out.  I would have
refused to provide ID.  If they refused to sell me the beer, I would
have just walked out leaving everything on the counter.  I then would
tell my friends about this and they would do the same.

I know the new Colorado Licenses have a magstrip on the back.  Probably
be at the point where you drag the license through a reader as proof of

No doubt King Soopers wants to protect themselves from any possible
problem with the law.  They can point to this procedure as proof that
they couldn't possibly have sold alcohol to someone underaged.  Or if
they did, it was the clerk's fault, not the company's.

The chilling effect of what Big Brother might do can be worse than what
BB actually does do.  Equally destructive is corporate spinelessness --
easier to institute urine analysis in the workplace or such checks as
the above than to oppose BB.

Depending on the jurisdiction, the penalty for selling alcohol to a
minor consistently or even once might be high fines or loss of the
license to sell such beverages.  Some jurisdictions might even require
that the age of all purchasers of alcholic beverages be verified and
failing to do so might result in a penalty, even if the purchaser would
otherwise meet the age requirement.  One instance of poor judgement on
any clerk's part could cost the store dearly.  The store is just trying
to follow the law and stay in business.

Subject: Re: Fingerprinting Rules

Most groups I've seen over the years that fingerprinted kids gave the
prints back to the parents right then and there --- no copies were EVER
kept.  The idea being that the parents should keep a current picture of
their kids, descriptions, and the prints in a safe place in case they
are ever needed.  Some of the newer groups have gone to computerized
systems and offer keeping this information on-line for the parents ---
since many parents just don't keep things like fingerprints, pictures,
etc. easily accessible.  I don't think there's any ulterior motive in
trying to develop a database of people's prints... but who knows.

As has been noted, fingerprinting will not do anything to prevent an
abduction. What it will do is to allow a positive ID... when the child
is returned or if the child should be found dead (remember, it might be
years before a child is returned and memories might fail... or the
child might be an infant when abducted and kids change a LOT at that
age in a year or two).

One of the worst things to happen to the parents in an abduction case
is NOT KNOWING.  The prints are one more way to help gain closure on an
awful situation.   It is much much worse to go for years not knowing
what happened than to be able to deal with the grief of knowing for
sure...

In Texas (and probably other states) you have to be fingerprinted in
order to get a medical license (and you have to have a license in order
to practice medicine).  I suppose under Niebuhr's definition this would
be voluntary, I could have just chosen to abandon 4 years of medical
school and tens of thousands of dollars of tuition, not to mention the
future income of a practicing physician.

Just remember, when someone accosts you and says "your money or your
life", at least they are giving you a choice.

Agreed that you not get the job.  The word voluntary has more than one
meaning.  Check your IRS booklet - it says we have a 'voluntary' tax
system.  How many people do you know chose not to 'volunteer' to pay
their taxes?

BTW - my wife had to be fingerprinted as well as a backround check thru
BCI.  Her prints were also on a FBI fingerprint card.  She HAD to do
this before she could work in the kitchen at primary, secondary and
high schools in a near-by town.  She didn't have a problem with the
process.  It's for the 'good' of the kids, I guess.

I still have to wonder what else will be done with her prints (other
than keep them on file).  I think they should have been returned to
her.

I choose not to 'volunteer' to pee in a bottle nor do I want to have
this process forced upon me in my present or any future job.  The same
is true for fingerprinting.  I have nothing to hide and I shouldn't
have to prove it!  Guilty until proven innocent doesn't get it.

Subject: Re: Towards Natl ID card?

This whole arguement about curbing "illegal" employees through smart ID
cards etc. is nonsense. The problem as it currently stands is the
inability of employers to _verify_ the SSN numbers and identity of
current and perspective employees. An employer should be able to
somehow verify -- in real-time -- a SSN to make sure it matches the
name, address etc. on file for the SSN given. A system like VISA and
MASTERCARD use for their merchants would be a good idea, a merchant
calls the issuing bank to verify a suspect charge and the bank verifies
the name and address of the cardholder (the bank doesn't offer any
info, only _verifies_ what the merchant has). I would prefer a system
along these lines instead of a "new" system that forces a universal
card -- think about the costs in dollars and privacy invasion of a
national ID card. A national ID card looks like a new and innovative to
spend _much_ more of our tax dollars _and_ invade our privacy (with the
help of that model of efficiency and privacy -- he said sarcasticly --
the US Postal Service).

          Computer Networking, Community Action, and Democracy

************************************************************************

In the few short years since the first proposals for a National
Information Infrastructure (NII), a broad social movement has arisen 
to put that vision into action in communities across the country.  
A remarkable range of people -- educators, librarians, community
activists, computer people, government agencies, advocates for people
with disabilities, and others -- have been using computer networks to
deliver services and to organize themselves behind an emerging agenda
for computing and networking in the public interest.  CPSR is convening
this meeting for all people interested in the place of computer
technology in society, with the goal of bringing together a wide range
of voices to discuss the ways in which the NII might serve the needs 
of society and to empower one another to pursue shared goals in the 
new technological world.  Our meeting this year will place particular
emphasis on providing would-be activists with the skills and connections
they need to put the vision of democratic technology into practice.

Saturday, October 8th

 8:00 -  9:00   Registration/Coffee

 9:00 -  9:15   Welcome to the CPSR Annual Meeting

 9:15 - 10:15   Keynote address
                  Francois Bar
                  Department of Communication, UCSD

                "Staking Claims to the Network"

    This is a critical time for grass-roots involvement in shaping
    America's communications networks.  National policy-making has
    largely deferred issues of encouraging broad access, preventing
    network fragmentation, and guaranteeing basic individual rights
    and freedoms.  Francois Bar argues that broad-based access and
    involvement today are critical -- not as charity, but because
    the network's future can only be imagined and discovered through
    broad-based and sustained experimentation by end-users.

10:15 - 10:45   Break

10:45 - 12:30   Panel Discussion -- Moderated by Steve Miller

                "The Meanings of Access"

    The theme of "access" has united numerous groups interested in
    ensuring equity in the NII.  But "access" is a complex concept with
    many equally important facets.  This panel brings together leading
    voices for community access to technology to compare and contrast
    the various technical, social, and institutional meanings of access.

 2:00 -  3:30   Panel Discussion -- Moderated by Kathleen Kells

                "Privacy and Intellectual Freedom"

    Privacy and intellectual freedom are crucial information rights
    shared by all people.  Protecting these rights is a full-time job,
    one that brings the members of several professions into day-to-day
    contact with the the diverse and complicated circumstances in which
    real people need to exercise them.  This panel features a discussion
    among three national leaders in the defense of these rights.

 4:00 -  5:45   Panel Discussion -- Moderated by Rik Belew

                "Community Networking in San Diego"

    Our host community of San Diego makes a fine "case study" for all of
    our meeting's topics.  In this panel, five active community members
    describe the remarkable range of networking projects going on around
    San Diego, placing them in the context of the region's economic and

                "The Public-Interest Aspects of the Information Superhighway"

    Legislators in Washington are now making policies that will affect
    everyone's ability to join in the social and political activities
    that make up a democracy.  How can we make sure that those who
    are not technologically literate will have an opportunity to
    participate?  Sonia Jarvis will initiate a dialog on strategies
    for ensuring that the public interest is given proper consideration.

10:00 - 10:15   Short Break

10:15 - 12:15   Workshops

    Now is the time for everyone to become an activist for democratic
    uses of information technology.  No matter what expertise you have
    to offer, or what contribution you'd like to make -- whether it's
    running a bulletin board, starting an on-line discussion group for
    people with a shared interest, organizing a computer network to
    serve your community's needs, helping to protect everyone's privacy
    in a world of computer databases, getting new people into the
    electronic world, joining the larger public-interest movement, or
    drawing on the resources of the net to get people the information
    they need to make informed choices in a democracy -- the necessary
    skills, tools, and connections are readily available.  In these
    seven workshops, national experts on technology activism will tell
    you how to get started with your own good deeds on Monday morning.
    More detailed descriptions of each workshop will be available
    sometime in September.

                               ABOUT CPSR

Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility is a national,
non-partisan, public-interest organization dedicated to understanding
and directing the impact of computers on society.  Decisions regarding
the use of this technology have far-reaching consequences that
necessarily reflect the basic values and priorities of the people who
govern their use.

Founded in 1981, CPSR has 1800 members from all over the United States
and 21 chapters.  Each of our members is an important participant in 
the dialogue that is helping to shape the future use of computers in the
United States.  Our National Advisory Board includes one Nobel laureate
and three winners of the Turing Award, the highest honor in computer
science.  CPSR published the influential report "Serving the Community"
on policy issues in the National Information Infrastructure, and is 
an active participant in the Telecommunications Policy Roundtable in 
Washington.

We believe that as the influence of computers continues to permeate
every aspect of our society, it is important that professionals become
active participants in formulating the policy that governs computer 
use and access.  CPSR welcomes any and all who share our convictions,
whether they work as computer professionals or not.

at gopher.cpsr.org, as well as the new CPSR WorldWide Web pages, whose
