No, some of us would love for the government to have one in an ideal world, we just recognize that the US government that exists today is not competent enough to be trusted to run such a database. Just think about the topic we're discussing - do you really trust the US Department of Identity to not have breaches like this every year? The only difference is that we'd never hear about them.

- neuromantik8086 9y agoOne can dream that the state governments would be competent enough though. I feel like it wouldn't be that hard to make driver's licenses / state identification cards mandatory at the state level (fewer people to piss off).
