People can be a little too trusting in today's society, and identity theft campaigns are fighting the good fight to make sure that the men and women of tomorrow don't make the mistakes that the old floozies of yesteryear have made. These days, you don't know where your milk comes from, you don't know how many people have manhandled your ground chuck before you make that tasty burger with the cheese that may have been made in Argentina by llamas (American cheese my fanny), and you don't know if that fish you ate really was red snapper. On a (more) serious note, I have heard that most of the time you don't actually get red snapper when you think you do, see http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2004-07-14-fish-labeling_x.htm. Or don't see it, see if I care. The FISH are victims of identity theft! Sure, we have laws protecting the fish's right to live as a species, but we don't have any laws protecting the identity of these precious creatures. I won't even begin to go into human identity theft. Wait, yes I will, that was the whole point of this post. The bottom line (let's face it) is this: the advent of the world wide web has made it criminal not to steal somebody's identity. Case in point: my name is David Scott Mathews, I live in Walterboro, SC, and my father is asleep while I'm using his blog. If that doesn't prove my point, I don't know what does. I'll leave it alone, for now. Just answer this one question: have you stolen anyone's identity today? If not, why? Explain your reasoning.
