Nothing like a good rant before you turn in for the night...

A flame war broke out on ukpolitics, and, well, my strong opinions kicked in.

A rant is here.

I expect to find an inbox full of flames when I get back from London. Better go clean out the large filesize junk Mozilla doesn't download before I sign off. G'night all.http://www.pledgebank.com/refuse

id cards, politics: old, civil disobedience, no2id

You're quite right. There's a big difference between showing an obvious dislike for a law you disagree with, and breaking the law because you disagree with it. Civil disobedience, protests etc. all show distain for a law without spoiling your cause by doing criminal acts ( ... )

Confuzzled; got this one twice, once on the community, once here, you deleted the response there?

I like the Locke quote, must reread him at some point. Meh; emigrating. Germany? They have ID requirements, but the card issimply a reprint of the passport id page, none of this facial scan to allow you to be ID'd from CCTV footage as recently mooted.

Posted to the community, realised it's moderated and as I'm not a member the post was unlikely to be allowed through. Posted here in case you didn't get it cos I'd put some effort in to go find a quote...

Thinking Canada. But it's a future thing, so may be subject to change. Hopefully not though.

It's modded, but posts from non members just get screened until either a mod or the poster unscreens them, so you can post there it just doesn't show to anyone except thee and me until I click the 'unscreen' link at the bottom of the email.

Canada? Too cold, the accent would annoy. Your choice tho I guess.
