I just went to my local SSA office and tried to "opt-out," to get out of this silly system. The girl looked at me and asked for my number! Damn that all defining number! 9 stupid f'ing digits represent all that I am to my government! On top of it, she had no idea what I wanted, she assumed I meant I wanted a check or something. I said that I wanted out of the system, that I no longer wanted to participate in the system. And again, she had no idea what I meant. I further explained that it is a voluntary program and that I no longer wanted to do it.
She replied in damn annoying and prissy voice "No it's not, where did you hear that from?" I was so annoyed at her tone I wanted to slap her!
I tied to explain that to the best of my knowledge it is illegal to number the citizens of this country against their will. As a fool, she told me that they "enumerate" children at birth to save them the trouble later. I'm not a Rhodes Scholar, but I am sure that "enumerate" is the same thing as numbering. What the hell is going on? I am about to go ballistic here!
