National ID cards represent nothing more than another bureaucracy. A totally redundant measure designed to satisfy the demands by the US to "take a tough stand" on terrorism. <br /> <br />If you already have a Social Insurance Number, driver's license, healthcard, birth certificate, marriage/baptism certificate, passport, student card, immigration card, or even a credit card is all the proof of citizenship you need becasue that's all what a National ID card represents: all the pieces of ID listed above, documented on a single card. Like I said, totally unnessecary.

   

hahaha, on top of all those cards you mentioned I have a status card to boot. I have enough cards. Why have a National ID card when every other card I have does that for me? <br />Then again, maybe on this ID pic I wont look like I just crawled out of bed <img align=absmiddle src='images/smilies/razz.gif' alt='Razz'>
