Would
you be in favor of a required National Idendity Card that all residents must register
for??Driver's licenses are already used for this purpose.

I've thought a national ID would be a good
idea since college. Much better than drivers' license numbers or social security numbers.

In principle I am opposed to a National
Identity Card as allowing Big Brother to track movements far too closely. In practice, in
this day of electronic banking, Internet shopping and so forth, I suspect it wouldn't
really make much difference. I already voluntarily have a passport.

I don't know about MUST, but the idea in
general sounds helpful for young folks and other non-drivers. I think I know why you're
asking, but I don't know if that's really necessary.

Having a national ID is not the
question. Rather, under what circumstances is it used. For example, using it as ID to cash
a check or apply for services is much different than
being stopped randomly and asking to see the card. Seems to me that government already has
most information on you if they want it.

I'm not pushing for a mandatory National
Identity Card, but I don't think it would truncate any tangible freedoms. It might be more
reliable for fiscal identification than a driver's license or a Social Security Card.

Yes. Many people object to this because they
say it would rob them of privacy. But from what I have read and seen on TV, we have no
privacy left to rob. They already know all about us from our buying habits to what we
watch on TV.

sure

absolutely

No. One on my main fears following
the attack on America was that the we would be willing
to sacrifice a number of the freedoms that make this country great, all in the name of
fear. This would be the first step. We might as well just go ahead and rename the country
Oceania.

Not particularly, no.

Like a driver's license or Social Security
card? Like anybody who manages to take over a few planes and kill thousands of people
without being stopped is going to have trouble figuring out how to duplicate a little
card.

If it didn't cost a cent, then sure why not?
I have nothing to hide! lol
Dianne, 17

Absolutely not. Why would we need such a
thing? And wouldn't that encourage discrimination?
Angela, 18
Bella Vista, AR USA
I think it's a good idea. Why not?
Sure, I'd be in favor of it.

Maybe- But I'm sure they can be copied as
drivers liscensed do. And there would be tracking problems. But ya never know.
Stephanie, 25
TX USA
yes i would, not only because you would know
who was an american or some kind of crazy terrorist, but if you ever got hurt and no one
was around to identify you, you at least had some kind of identification on you.
Karen2, 15
Boston, MA
USA
Yes

Isn't that sorta like a passport and SIN
card rolled into one? I mean, I'm not nessisarily for it, but I think that the government
and probably track American citizens pretty well without any new card.
Jaden, 21

Hell no.
Talia, 24

No way! It is bad enough with driver's
licenses. Having a national identity card would be taking away some of our freedom. The
thought of being monitored through that ID is freaky.
Celeste, 30
Colorado Springs, CO USA
It sounds like a good idea. This way
everyone would have a photo ID. I'm not sure if I would like one if it had a micro chip
that would contain too much personal information about you. but one that had basic
identifying info would be OK.
Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA
I already have quite a few of those.
Driver's license, social security card, birth certificate, Blockbuster card.... If the
government can't figure out how to use all the identification we've already got, then they
don't deserve to know.
