ID Cards R'nt Us.



A recent couple of posts on Libertarianism has made me think more about it than I have done before.
I even did the wee test. The blue cross is official SNP policies, red is me.Just like when that picture was taken...
It all comes down to laws. Lots of them. Isn't it what Governments do?Make laws and more laws.Won't there be a point where no more laws can be made?
So the Libertarians have a point; to reduce laws to the minimum and only for life threatening crime.But where do you draw the line?
Would the worlds envisioned by Heinlein be utopias or dystopias?Strapping on a gunbelt to go shopping has a certain appeal, but would you like your daughter to do so?
Anyhow I strongly disagree with ID cards, although would like one like the one pictured.
So long as it wasn't compulsory.
