i dont get why Iran and other countries around the world are not allowed nukes while the USA and its allies have many, enough to destroy the world a bunch of times over.
ok so Iran has stated some threatening things, but what about any other country who wants them, why is the UN against it.

Yes, I realise your concerns about privacy, government control, inconvenience, and what you might call the "road down the slippery slope" to the end of freedom of movement.

May I bring to your attention, however, that national ID cards are a fact of life in almost every country apart from the UK and US.

Countries in which national ID cards are used and compulsory (either by law or in practice) include France, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, South Korea, etc.

Indeed, the majority of the world's democracies have national identity cards. Your paranoid fears have NOT materialised in these countries.

People in France can still go about their daily lives as they wish, without constant interference or surveillance by the government.

In Hong Kong, the ID card is a great convenience: it allows for 5-second automatic immigration clearance at the airport and other entry ponts. Besides, proving your identity at banks and such is a lot easier with national ID.

Yahoo takes the position that if a court, any court presents them with a subpoena to discover your true identity and any other information they have about you, they will very willingly hand over that information. You can be sued for what you post through any Yahoo medium. It can be as simple as someone who wants to sue you for cussing them out or insulting them here, and they go to some small court and claim damages and have Yahoo supeonaed for that information. Yahoo will gladly give it out and then this person who filed has your name and address and can come to your house. Yahoo can file a simple motion to quash, which takes very little time and very little money, and it would be over and they would have fulfilled their fiduciary responsibility. But they instead choose not to become involved. They have a legal department which states simply that they do not become involved, but will simply answer the subpoena. No defense. No protection. Do you trust Yahoo?

believe there are five main alternatives:
1. state funding via taxes (according to percentage of votes in previous elections)
2. unlimited (if you can't enforce any rules, why have limitations at all)
3. obligatory media access (each newspaper and TV & radio station has to give the top three parties one free-of-charge double-page/half-hour per week during that month and a 4th for the rest/minor parties + they have to answer each others questions at publicized debates)
4. personal finances only (barr all companies & organisations from donating)
5. off the deposits (use the deposits that all must pay to enter to finance the whole thing)
Which one or combination is best at producing a well-informed electorate and an as impartial as humanly possible (rather than bribed up) legislature?
