Bleeding heart? Yeah, I guess I am a bleeding heart.....that likes to shoot his guns, catch his fish, and make fun of hippies.

Timber - you only give your SSN once, and once only. Of course, if you try to get one in another state, they'll ask for it then too. It in no way gives your address, the size of your BVDs, or how long you've been suscribing to Playboy. It just tells them the last state you were at...even then, it doesn't really do a good job. It just gives a heads up to the district attorney for that state, county, and city, etc.

Easy with the conspiracy theory, big guy. This is a good thing. I guess you have to work with gov't or be a product of a broken home to really see the sunshine.

You have a valid argument, but for now, this is govt's best way of punishing/finding deadbeat dads. You are a good father; you have nothing to worry about....except whether or not your kids will be brainwashed by MTV one day
