This is the difficulty - we need something with the advantages to ourselves, but with disadvantage to bureaucrats and data harvesters, of an identity card. Which, as you can imagine, is too difficult, because that which is an advantage to us is also an advantage to those we'd rather not have knowing much about us.
I don't imagine an id card would have many advantages for the users, particularly not hitched to a system where one had to carry such, and presumably therefore had to go by a single name? I used to rather enjoy having three or four different identities... (confuse the bastards...)
