Neil at Brighton Regency Labour Supporter has posted on ID cards again. Either he's doing it to be annoying, or he really doesn't understand the difference between the words voluntary and compulsory.
He also seems to think that a good argument in favour of bad things is that someone can do them already - as in someone can steal your identity right now - so why are you complaining about the government trying to help them?
He also makes a untrue allegation about the NO2ID campaign and repeats his use of Luddite as derogatory term in spite of the historical context.
Laughably, he can't tell the difference between privacy and paranoia, either.
All of this is a shame, because I still agree with him about Thatcher and PR.

No, it is worse than that, Urko, I actually believe what I write.
I don't see the harm in knowing someone else's business as long as the relationship is reciprocal (that is the crucial point). Anybody's actions (however private) can have an impact on someone else's life and the more honest information is out there it can only be of benefit.
Yes, luddites have been misrepresented, but it is the popular conception of the term that I wish to use.

But it isn't, is it? That is the crucial point. That you believe the twaddle you write worries me because you are clearly unable to see just how dangerous your views would be if put into practice. They have been, and the societies involved dismantled the apparatus. Just pause for a moment and ask yourself why they did that.
