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...)?

I agree. I'm all about privacy, so it's a good thing I live in Montana which has really strict privacy laws, and that's the way we like it. Giving the gub'mint more info on the pretense of being able to track possible wrongdoers (or whatever the reasoning behind this is) punishes the non-wrongdoers. I may sound like I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist for thinking this way, but hey. :)

Dude, I wanna move to Montana.

I feel really uneasy about the tracking-people's-activities thing. I'm not involved in any criminal activity, but still, the thought of being spied on by the government... ugh.
