To NR,..... I understand all you write about in your last post,... two things in response, first of all I was only talking about things as they stand now,..and in that respect I still cant see a problem yet with the idea of an ID card.
Your post see`s a possible future for the ID card,..and I cant say that you will be wrong, it may well go that way,.... but it might not as well, ....many of the points you make already happen now without the card, people are black listed for all sorts of things with nothing to do with an ID card
If it did go down the route you wrote about, then of course I completely agree with you, but I personally don't see things ever getting that bad,.. the light bulb really is flickering up here..

,.. but I do think its flickering more into life than going out,.... I hope I am right and you are wrong..
A major part of survival is invisibility.
