National ID Cards wanted or not wanted

It sounds an awful lot like big brother to me. I think the idea is horrid, but then we already have a form of such cards -- try getting a job without a social security card -- at least that doesn't track your movements.

This is a systematic and subtle way of murdering personal privacy the foundation of democracy. Maybe they can do that to terrorist or any lawless element but not to the general populace. There are lots of lots scalawags in government and then we entrust our freedoms to them and give up our privacy to this. This is ultimately is unacceptable. Government should first prove themselves to the people that they are transparent and corruption free before they act on our individual private lives.

While we already have a National Id Card called a Social Security Card to take it one step further and electronically track your movements goes against every thing the United States stands for. Freedom to do as we will without survellance unless we are breaking the law is fundamental to our way of life. This is not only not wanted everyone in this country should stand up and fight it. To allow what happened on 9/11 to bring us one more step to total government control is inexcusable. We already are in hundreds of thousands of data bases that reflect almost every thing we do so to add to that one more control is absurd. No question that something needs to be done to protect us from terrorism, but to allow it to move us to a government that has total control over our every move is inexcusable. I fear however that because this will not be something that the news media may be allowed to pick up and run with most people will not know of this....or care about....until it is too late. Yes I fear it is one of the first steps toward the new world order. Lord help us all.
