I read an article today about how a woman stole someone's identity, earned a GED, took the SAT, was accepted to Columbia University (an Ivy League school), and studied there for two years. At some point during this time, stole another identity and got into Harvard. Right now, she's being prosecuted and faces jail time because she amassed over $100,000 in student loans with someone else's name.

Here's the thing: if you're smart enough to do all that, why not just do it with your OWN identity?!?!?! Other than the loans, I can't really think of many drawbacks.

In other news, the U.S. government just announced that it has developed a ray gun. Looks like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il, and Hugo Chavez don't have as much to worry about as they might have thought: our next target appears to be Bill Shatner.

I have the answer as to why not use your own identity. We live in a world where many times you are rewarded for who you know not what you know and who you are not what you can be...
