In the battle against big government and the infamous Real ID, Massachusetts
<http://www.telegram.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070506/NEWS/705060682/
1116>  has hopped on board. In the words of State Senator Richard T. Moore,
D-Uxbridge, "Historically, Americans have resisted the idea, which
totalitarian governments have tended to do, of having a national ID. That's
the broad philosophical issue. I don't think it's a good move and I would be
reluctant to see why we are going to that step." And State Attorney General
Martha Coakley thinks "it's a bad idea." Should be interesting to see how it
gets voted.
