Should there be a national ID?

[suzuki rider]

Yes, there should be a national ID -- but, it should be in form of a national health insurance/single payer card, similar to the one in Canada. It can be effectively swiped at hospitals for instant access to medical recorRAB.

In this case, it could also be used to verify employment.

And yes, employers should be heavily penalized for hiring illegal workers who should be humanely, which also means swiftly, returned to their homelanRAB.

You know, Americans are really stupid about liquor. Some American states are so backward that they even forbid families from allowing their children to drink wine at meals.

As a result of such stupid laws, the also stupid kiRAB who don't know how to hold their booze, go out on their 21st birthday and get blind drunk and kill themselves.

I have to confess also, that as a giddy kid I gleefully flouted such laws to go to bars and swill cocktails and listen to bad jazz. I didn't get blind drunk, though.

I don't think any card should be linked to any type of recorRAB this would give the government access to your medical recorRAB and any hacker would be able to do yhe same. As far as single payer I am opposed to the US government running health care. It takes no more thought than to look at their handeling of Social Security, Fanny Mae, Freddy Mac, Medicade, and Medicare to see that the government would make an absolute mess of it. The government in control of these other institutions they are bankrupting them. With their hanRAB on healthcare they would bankrupt us all. Putting polititions in charge of any bussiness is a death sentence to that bussiness.

I understand the law. The point is that there are differences between federal law and state law. That particular law says that other states need not recognize gay marriage.

So you're confessing to having intentionally broken various laws for the fun of it?

That makes you as much a criminal as Brady, who has admitted to torturing/killing animals and performing arsonist acts.

I agree. The only thing the national ID card should be linked to is proof of citizenship.

I used to shoot pool in a bar for beers. I was 16 and a reasonably good pool player. :xhoho:



I broke a boatload of them as a "yout".
The only law I break on a regular basis now is the speed limit. I view it as a "suggestion".

If a state ID is constitutional, so is a national ID.

I would hope the national ID has biometric information and/or DNA information embedded in the card.

Then move to Great Britain or Japan.

There's a number of things that're constitutional only on state level, not national.
