[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, I have nothing to hide...and I am not a despicable leftie..But I do not want an I D card.
I have explained why in posts for a long time.
I have no evidence that makes me want to change my mind.
If crims can fake other documents then they will fake these lucratively.
ID cards rely on them being carried by everyone and being subject to scrutiny.
I have seen how the border forces work at passport points in airports...not much scrutiny is given to these documents.

As for Latin, it is a language that helps you to understand the roots of words.
It was the language of learning in the dim and distant past, but has relevance in legal and medical circles who still use many Latin terms. Many Latin abbreviations are used in our own language, and if you have learned latin, then many other language doors are easier to open.
