my question is why the United States has to be uniquely stupid when it comes to national ID, as it is with gun legislation.
Maybe because Shinyland is particularly well supplied with paranoid nutters? Remember when the peach colored $10 bills came out? There were conspiracy theories that the the government could disavow the peach bills at it's pleasure, "stealing" from the people who had them.
A national ID system is the only way to separate citizens out. As we have seen, all the verification systems to "prove" illegals are illegals are useless, if all a person has to do is say they are a citizen, and proffer a forged Social Security card, to be accepted without documentation.
