Did Oceania Have This?

[David Morris]

I understand your sentiment, but did your kids get their footsies ink-printed
on their birth certificates?  Did you try to stop that intrusion?  And now that
DNA provides evidence not beyond, but at least equal to an eye-witmess or a
fingerprint, why shouldn't every citizen who wants a driver's license be
required to provide DNA-print?  Here in the New Orleans/Baton Rouge area we
just caught up to a serial killer of at least six women all linked only through
the rapist's DNA.  Is that a bad thing?
