Ok..I agree.]

What I'm saying is that all seem to be acting this is something we've never had to do before....when is retrospect we do this everyday.

And yes, if this comes to pass there will be people out there who will make a killing for forgery of such documents.


Point is we always have and always will have to prove who we are in matter of importance.

Prove it!

I guess I don't really have a problem with a national ID card.

I served in the military and everyone who did active duty was required to carry an ID card.

I lived in Europe for many years. Everyone who lives there has a national ID card, including American expatriates. If you are older than 12, you must have such a card. Their cards generally serve as passport in ECU countries.

I have a drivers license which I am required by law to have with me when I drive.

I think that all men in the US are still required to register with the Selective Service System. I still have my draft card from 50 years ago.


I must have a picture ID to board a commercial aircraft in the Us.

I must have a picture ID to get medical care. (This is fairly new because HMO members were loaning their medical ID cards to the non-insured.)

I must have a picture ID to purchase liquor if I look even remotely young.

I must have a picture ID to cash a check in any bank where they don't know me.

I must have a social security number if I want to work.

NAIS even wants me to put IDs on my cows.

While in Europe, I never sensed that anyone worried about having an ID card. There are a lot of other rules there that are a bit unnerving. For example if you stay in a motel, the police routinely look at the guest register for wanted folks. In Spain, we had to surrender our passports as we checked into a hotel. That is disconcerting if you can't speak the language.


The worst thing about a national ID is that the government would hire a bunch of burearcrats to administer the system.



Now if they had a national ID card that would allow you to escape junk mail, charity solicitations and credit card offers. I would really be for it.
