I'm curious...

Because I never understood this.

What's the big deal about national id card = evil? Why do people think that? How is it different from combining a state ID and a social security card? Don't many countries in Europe have a national ID (I don't know, actually...)?

While having a picture I.D. for someone who doesn't drive is useful (I have a B.C.I.D. card that serves the same purpose as a driver's licence; it's used anywhere you need picture I.D.) What worries me about this one is that according to one of the articles I saw, you'd need it to be able to travel. Also, just the idea of the government "requiring" you to have anything raises my hackles. I have a Social Insurance Card and a picture I.D.; those should be all anyone needs.
