By this way of thinking, the govt should have bugs in everyones homes to
protect
us from every concievable harm. After, if you're not breaking the law, what
have you got to worry about? Making the govt even *more* efficient at
tracking every
move makes me shudder. Haven't we all read 1984?

You're comparing a national identification card, basically the equivilant of a
state I.D. card or drivers license, to 1984? Are you kidding me? And the ID
cannot make the government more efficient at tracking every move simply
because, first off, you don't use ID to do everything, in fact you don't use
it to do most things, and many of the things you DO use it for don't involve
your number being sent to some map where your movements are plotted in realtime.
This paranoia over an ID card is silly. Frankly, an ID card is
extremely useful.
