erm, i'm not arguing its about control ( not in this thread at least, even though i know for a FACT thats EXACTLY what its about).
any chance of a comment regarding innocent till proven guilty?
and btw...what does a guilty person look like?
i remember years ago on my way to work i suddenly realized my watch had stopped and so i asked someone for the time and found out i was over half an hour late for work so i started running for the bus (which was 30 mins walk from my house) i shot round a corner and nearly knocked over an old man or woman, cant remember which), apologised to the person but before i could continue on a police car pulled up next to me and wanted to know who i was and why i was running like a crazy person. the policeman didn't even bother getting out of his car (i think that has something to do with the fact he was the only policeman in the car. there has to be a second witness or something like that...i think.), the point is...its supposed to be a free country and just because i am running it doesn't make me guilty of anything except breathing harder and getting tired.

Well yes, and yes, it's *very* weak. I guess it is a matter of how you look at other human beings.
Question is, do you trust the government to be the lesser of two evils, i.e. they just try to enslave you.. whereas your neighbour can suddenly turn into a crazy-monkey axe-murderer. I prefer the government keep my neighbours from killing me.

And if that means they have to keep an eye on me too, then well.. I prefer voyeurs over killers.

erm, aside from the enslaving thing (which exactly what this ID crap is all about), how can i trust my Govt to have so much info on me in one centralised database (even though they have to much info already) when they cant even keep sensitive info such as social security details and bank account info safe?
our Govt and especially our PM are the biggest bull-crapping useless, spineless, lying, manipulative corrupt, back stabbing, traitorous morons this country has ever seen! i wouldn't trust anyone one of them to look after a pile of cat crap!!
