I don't know if I can give you a logical reason a national ID system is dangerous; but I can point to historical fact. And the fact is: when the going got tough, people got weird. So weirded out by what was going on, they even listened to crazed leaders who declared that the solution to everybody's ills was to persecute the scapegoat of the day. That the Germany demanded that all guns be registered is a historical fact (1929 Berlin). That those guns be (voluntarily) relinquished to the government is a historical fact (1934). That a per house search (based on the public records of registered gun owners) confiscating all guns was executed by the German military is a fact (1939).

And in 1942, said the soldier to the Jew: "What are you going to do? bleed on me?"

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Should I start to elaborate on the trends in persecution here in the USA? Tobacco? Motorcyclists? Internet forum hate-mongers? ;-)

"Nazism - phoooey." Sounds like an emotional argument to me (the emotion of 'pride').

What I want to know is what has changed that will save us from repeating history?
