Again.. it's voluntary so don't get one... you just might find certain online businesses requiring it.. by the way I don't see how this allows the government to track you.. it's issued federally because it's used on the internet which crosses state lines so it can only be issued federally anyway.. but the point is, it's voluntary and will only be required by businesses or services that want to make it required.. online retailers, social networks.. those kinds of entities will likely require it at some point to prevent fraud or identity theft.
But again... don't get one if you don't want one..
A quote:
Car Insurance was once voluntary. Don't be such a sheep. I bet in the beginning you never though Face-book was supported by the gov and used against you...... and now it is.
Wake up.
"Schmidt stressed today that anonymity and pseudonymity will remain possible on the Internet. "I don't have to get a credential if I don't want to," he said. There's no chance that "a centralized database will emerge," and "we need the private sector to lead the implementation of this," he said."edit on 9-1-2011 by miniatus because: (no reason given)
But again... don't get one if you don't want one..

You still have not responded on my question how this ID card will enhance your shopping experience on eBay!!!! Please elaborate.
Thank you for your point of view. Again I have to say Steve that reading these replies has truly answered my life long question, how the Nazi's changed Germany without the citizens knowing. I hope and pray that America wakes up at some point and start fight back for these freedoms so many great people have lost their lives to receive it.
