smange on Bruce Schneier: "Democracy requires an informed citizenry in order to function properly, and transparency and accountability are essential parts of that. That means knowing what our government is doing to us, in our name...Otherwise, we're living in a police state. We need whistle-blowers." - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"I haven't seen anyone mention the problem with third parties yet. What if someone else gets hold of this data? A disgruntled government office worker? A foreign nation? What if the government agrees to sell this information to insurers? Also, ant future government should always be considered a third party. You never know what is to come. Having that information stored together is dangerous."

"You've pointed out one of the most important things, here. It's the same reason France no longer asks about religion in the census. It wasn't so long ago that the census data was used to hand over detailed lists of all the Jews in France. They NEVER want this to happen again."

"That's shit of them. In Australia we don't actually have graduating ceremonies for high school. Grades are sent to a separate body who governs university intake and certificates are sent to students for their own memorabilia more than anything. But we do have ceremonies for University. I was overseas when my ceremony was run, so they just sent it to me. No big deal."

"Why on earth would you enroll your kids in a school that could choose to fine you? And how is any school allowed to withhold the diploma? Surely if you've paid for tuition, done the work and passed the exams that diploma is YOURS. Schools that don't agree should be closed down for fraudulent activity. Seriously."
