They finally got to me. after fretting for years about how (melanin-rich) hordes of illegal aliens were poised to steal *my* job, I've decided that something has to be done. The turning point came this morning while reading about the report of the Commission on Immigration Reform. They have proposed a brilliant idea -- a national registry of the names and SS numbers of all *Real* Americans (as well as those sneaky legal aliens) so that employers can (would have to) verify that their prospective employees are legal. Since this is such a fabulous idea, I thought that we might help out by creating a Social Security Number Server on the nets to make valid names and SS numbers available to *everyone*. Nice WWW interface with forms support, etc. After all, since it's such a good thing to do, we should *help* the Feds by doing more of it. As you may know, there's a guy on alt.privacy who has been collecting SS numbers for a while (a perfectly legal activity). I will be contacting him to see if he would be interested in contributing the numbers that he has collected. Anyone else interested contact me.
