No, I won't be thrown in prison. For all the wailing going on here, our society (in the United States) is at least as open as it was 50 years ago. Probably a great deal more so a when you consider things like suffrage and the treatment of the disabled.
There are lots of places where things need to get better, but the notion that things have gotten worse is simply hilarious.
I blame the huge numbers of people that pay for mere convenience (even though it the prices aren't very attractive) rather than spiting the companies and limiting themselves to the service that they truly need (such spite would likely translate into more attractive pricing).
You very quickly got to the point where you were issuing 160 thousand new cards everyday (that's 1 new card for each resident of the United States every 5 years). That is not something that is going to be particularly simple (especially if you want to try to devote some resources to matching each card to a particular identity).
(Sure, drivers licenses are issued at something approximating that rate, but they aren't dealing with making sure that a given set of encryption keys stay private)
To implement such a thing, you need thousands of endpoints (or perhaps hundreds, but you are going to need pretty good throughput, especially if you use multiple private keys and occasionally reject one). The least trustworthy operators of those endpoints are going to be less trustworthy than your encryption.
Actually, all I was assuming was that the easiest way to get the current holders to give up any of their space was to let other people buy it from them, I have no idea if it would be a practical thing.
Are you sure you got that right? I'm pretty sure bankers' salaries are being counted in the services sector there, it would take some convincing to show that they are being counted in the industrial sector.
They are a little thin, but the numbers listed here suggest that a ten-year old living today can expect to live about 15 years longer than a ten-year living in 1850:
The 60 years that the 1850 era ten-year old could expect to obtain isn't that bad, but the 75 years that today's ten year old can expect is still better.
It would make the lack of meaningful answers more interesting. Infant mortality may well be the most significant factor, but it certainly doesn't appear to be the only significant factor.
The closest thing to advertising of antibiotics in the U.S. is news coverage of Cipro in relation to terrorism. I guess the web site advertises it, but it is pretty tame:

Imagine the tragedy if the fist step towards loving trousers needs to be learning to love himself.

It is based on a mobile distribution of linux, but it is also a java like language and a set of APIs.
It is probably better to say that it is implemented on top of a linux kernel.

So hows that job going?
You know, the one where you are the perfect proxy for the entire consumer market.
For long time?
My point was that I can use technology to enhance my freedom, it doesn't only have to be used against me.
Usually, when you think you have it all figured out, it is a good sign you probably don't.
It is going to be awfully tough to harden such a system against insiders and still have it be easy for them to use.
Oh yeah, SSL tramples all over your freedoms.
Repeatedly calling me an idiot doesn't do anything to prove your point.

Is it still edible if it has American cheese on it?
It certainly isn't always a one-to-one trade off.

Some nerd is angry that the world is changing the internet more than the internet is changing the world.
There was no (general) panic, only small groups of people who didn't believe what the physicists were telling them.

Or I am completely missing your point.
Why have a legal battle? Just let the current holders auction off sub-blocks.
It also makes my car sit safely in my driveway.
Predictable. Boring.
Or the doctor knew his audience (or perhaps the reporter back traced and asked the doctor what paracetamol was).
Mono is a virus.
I probably have, but I can't recall seeing one recently.
