If you are born free, and live free, then any scheme that compels you to be registered and prove what rights you have flies in the face of that freedom.

i do understand where your coming from and do somewhat agree with your sentiments .
my opinion is that given the amount of freedoms we have lost already simply by living in a modern society having a national id card/data base is only an extention of what we already have ,except the information held on us is spread throughout several different databases .before any further scheme is proposed (and i agree 100%that the labour idea was deeply flawed)there must be much more thought go into it regarding what it's purpose is
but in principle i don't mind the idea of having one
