Papers Please -- show me your papers.


 For the last few months, actually for a while now, there has been talk of "Vaccination Passports".  Many have shrugged their shoulders in a don't care attitude, or even a so what.  As the majority of the people continue to believe "It won't effect me as I obey the rules so I'm not worried".  The governments are counting on that.  They are counting on a passive acceptance without any problems from the general public.  After all in other authoritarian governments, everyone seems to be happy and content.

In Canada as long as my pocket change isn't effected, and I can still buy alcohol and I have some form of domestic life to make love to, I'm okay.   And that is what the government is hoping.

I have been called an extremist in many things, but as a student of history, I can see a development being created.  In the news today it was suggested that those people who have been vaccinated be given special privileges (expressed as a reward) for complying with federal and provincial orders to get vaccinated.

In order to enforce these "rewards" a needed piece of paper is going to have to be required so that policing these "rewards" can be obtained.  If you have been vaccinated you can meet in public at a bar or restaurant without wearing a mask or social distancing.  The door is being opened for a way to police the "privileges" that will come with a "vaccination passport".  With your papers you can apply for a job, enter a store without wearing a face mask, and the list continues to grows.

Without really seeing it, a two tiered society is being created.  One with the papers and one with out the papers.  The government encourages everyone to be vaccinated so that you get vaccination papers that will open all sorts of doors for you without restrictions.  Without it, you become less than a second class person.  You are considered "rebellious" even though there may be medical reasons why one can not receive a vaccination.  

People scoff that the concept at the present time, and yet the governments both federal and provincial are planning for such a situation to become a reality.  Before anyone will realize it, the question "Papers Please" will become a reality even to go shopping.  No papers, wear a mask, social identification and social distancing done differently.
