Re: ID Cards
Against. Civil, political and human rights are one of the most precious things any human has. They are not some airy fairy set of principles but something invented many centuries ago for which great minds have been striving for ever since. ID cards sets us down the slope of taking these away.
The reasons for ID cards are very weak and often hinge on vague and unsubstantiated bogeymen e.g. asylum seekers and scare tactics e.g. terrorism or other silly arguments such as the nothing to hide one. They are bureaucrats' wishlists, would be costly both in terms of money and hassle for some people and the benefits vague. For many such as myself the benefits are negligible and the costs very great.
