Are you who you say you are?
Can you prove it? Do you have ID? I must see three forms of photo ID before I will believe you are actually you...
What kind of world is it we are living in where you are automatically presumed to be an imposter in your own life?
We went to the bank today to sort out a boring joint account issue and my housemate (who's the named party on the account) was told upon producing his card drivers licence that it was not valid as ID unless he had the paper version with it.
I don't have the energy to explain to you how much shit like this makes me want to round up and angry mob and take to the streets...
It seems that none of us are to be trusted and eventually will all have to carry photographic ID to confirm that the three forms of ID we produce to prove we are who we say we are is in fact valid.
All these institutions introdcuing layer upon layer of 'security' between us and our money and are we safer? No. For gods sake the managing director of Barclays had his credit card defrauded this week, what hope do you or I have. None!
Am I me? Has my identity been stolen already to be used by myself to defraud me out of my own money?
Are any of us who we are?
Are you?
No. Thought not.
It's Invasion of the Bodysnatchers all over again. I am my own pod person replica.
