Identity Crisis

The cost of the government's identity cards has gone up by more than £160 million to more than £5 billion. In a time of recession such as we are in at the moment, with huge public debt, how on earth can the government justify spending this sort of money on a scheme that very few people seem to want and will only tell us what we already know ....... who we are. I have known who I am from a very early age and I expect most people are the same. Why should we have to keep proving to other people who we are? If they want to know, we can tell them. If they don't believe us it's their problem. They can take it or leave it.
Moses once asked God who he was. God didn't lower himself with "proof". He simply said "I am who I am". That was good enough for Moses ..... it should be good enough for everyone else, including the government!
