I see nothing in common with the leaders of this country, as many faults as they may have, and Hitler. It would suit me if a real ID card could keep track of neo nazis.

Re the above, the following comes to mind.
While some sort of National ID Card might keep track of "neo nazis", how would you arrange things so that government could not/would not also be keeping track of YOU, or might it be that you do not mind having your day to day activities, or perhaps morning to afternoon activities "supervised" by some supposedly well meaning Big Brother type(s)?
If that be your position, I must respectfully decline to share your view of things. You are, of course, entitled to that view. I hope that what appears to be your overweaning trust in government is not, at some point in the perhaps not to distant future, shattered. You see, I have it appears, less trust in government than you appear have.
BTW, in a later post, if I remember correctly, you offered that credit cards can't be forged. Given the operations of credit card offerers, and the fact that they seem to shower one and all with endless offers for the latest and greatest in credit cards, is forgery of these cards a necessity?
