There are times when you DO need it...like if you're driving somewhere, or are cashing a check. Personally, I think ID should be required to use a credit card, but some disagree with me--even though it helps PROTECT you by using it.

But not ALL the time. If I'm walking home for lunch at 2 a.m., why should I have my ID on me?

Unless you can show where the right of the govt to invade my privacy arbitrarily is protected anywhere in any document in the federal archives.

We protect the rights of the entire society by protecting every individuals rights.

I personally ask my Govt for nothing except to be left alone.
Tell that to the folks that voted for the Patriot Act.

There you have it. Hopefully this is the end of the off-topic tangent...

That would be Congress, the same folks that hear people like you asking for Govt controls on things like guns eh? After all, if you think that you need them to decide what you can protect yourself with why shouldn't they decide the rest of your life?

Why should they be allowed to make ANY laws? Laws are just a restriction of people's freedom.

That's the thing, I'm deadly serious. I know I can take care of myself...let's see the rich TRY to do the same thing. See how much their MONEY does for them then.
