I'm a little confused about this hubbub. I don't see what is particularly nefarious about having a picture I.D. Our driver’s licenses have our pictures on them. If you want to cash a cheque, a picture I.D. is a good indication to the merchant that you are indeed the owner of those cheques.
You are already registered with a social security number, are you not? How does adding a picture make it bad all of a sudden?
More importantly, don’t you believe that the intentions of your government are good? I believe my government has the best of intentions for us. Sometimes I don’t always agree with what they do but I do believe they have the people’s best interest at heart.
If you believe your government has some machiavellian intentions then you have more important things to worry about…like ousting that government pronto.
I don’t mind being identified as exactly who I am.
