As far as I can tell, the driver's licence already acts as an ID card. You need it to prove your age, write checks, join organizations, get an FBI background check.... This is one of the things that makes me laugh when people call it "the free-est country". Depends on your definition of freedom.....

As to whether I care.... No, I don't. There is already enough data out there for them to collect what they want to know about me. Sure, an ID card will make it easier. Easier means it should cost less, so more tax dollars available for the really important stuff, no?
