Cards, cell phones, voting data - all a way to track ppl w/out saying we r tracking you. Every time you fill something out it is entered into a database and used /sold. When you fill out paperwork for benefits w/ Red Cross they ask about dependents/children. This is a way to collect personal info and track ppl. If you have "location" enabled on your cell, this makes it even easier. Notice when you post, email, text it from your cell, it has your location. I only turn mine on when I check the weather.

Makes sense, though - "we will "help" you if you give us all of your info". Living down here I Katrina land, it was common for ppl to have to ask for help. I remember listening to the radio/news and families were separated when they were taking ppl from the Superdome. That is one of the worst memories I have - listening to a father tell how his little girl was taken on a bus and he had to stay behind. They only let elderly, women and children first. The men had to stay and wait. It was so sad to hear him say that he had no idea where they had taken his little girl. That stayed with me until a few months later when I heard him say that he found the little girl in Atlanta. When a disaster hits, you have to make hard choices. Thank God that we were able to leave before the storm. Anyway, this is also a way to separate the parents from the children. What a perfect disguise - a charity. I am not saying the Red Cross is bad, but who else has access to the info? They use the data to "plan" in case of another emergency.

they take advantage of our trusting natures...
