Oh damn, so now I have to carry my Driver's license, my state I.D. (for when I have those damn traffic violations I get all the time), and a National I.D. ? SCREW THAT!

The whole concept of a national I.D. is kind of freaky, I mis read your post the first time Colin.. I know all the schools here (even in a town of 35K) force you to wear an I.D. badge around your neck at all times. If you forget it they force you to buy a new one or go home for the day and serve it as a "Suspension Day".

Privacy is becoming less and less of a concern for Americans and more people seem to be willing to adapt to these policies to "protect their country". Truth of the matter is, none of this would of stopped 9/11 they had everything they needed to stop it on their lap from our government's setup 5 years ago, why do they think this will change the actions of the administration?

the state ID exists for valid verification of self in the case one does not obtain a drivers license.. to have a state ID is completely voluntary. I know some that do. I personally dont. So thats fine.. it is not legislated and mandated that you have one.. just could make your life easier.. just like a passport. you dont have to have one if you spend your entire life within your nation.

now a federally mandated ID is way more nefarious. and to force Americans to hold such an ID would be against personaly privacy and property and un-Constitutional at best.
