Social Security Card Burn

[AlanM]

So you guys want to keep symbols of enslavement because they are old and have broken promises written on them?

Yah!

I want to be able to prove that SS cards are NOT to be used for identification purposes. 

[Russell Kanning]

How will that help you? We all know that and the government doesn't care.

So does anyone else want to burn a ss card with me?

[Michael Fisher]

This is a civil disobedience type of event.  I think we should save our social security cards for a future civil disobedience event in which we do it in public and plan to be arrested for it.

[Russell Kanning]

That is what I am thinking.

Why should we wait?

There once was a man, name of Russell
Who never was to known to hustle
He'd shamble along,
A giggle:  his song
The taxman -he's going to hassle.

Limerick...but a good start.

I wasn't in a haiku mood.

When were you thinking?

Thank you for your inquiry.

You may want to contact your local police on the repercussions of burning a Social Security Card in front of a Social Security building.

If there is snow on the ground you don't need a permit to burn in NH.

[Kat Kanning]

Yep, they really sent that.

[KBCraig]

Is that the entire reply?

No "don't you dare!", no "that's forbidden by xx USC xxxx", just the veiled threat of "You might want to look out for your local PD if you want to burn your SS card"?

Man... that's lame. One of my college fraternity brothers works for a local SS office. I'll have to point him to this thread, although I know his response will be, "WTF, man? You don't want SS, strike a match!"

That was it.
