One of my favorite sci-fi writers, Robert Heinlein, wrote into a story once something like:
'If a society gets large enough to require ID cards it is time to leave, fortunatly space travel gives us the opportunity to go elswhere.'
So where can I buy my ticket out of here?
The Brits are obviously worse off than the US in this respect, despite however much we value privacy now, it seems inevitable that, one day, the pressures of a densly packed world will shift priorities. Make no mistake the US has it's own share of Mr. Goldstiens....
