the right to ask people their name and jail those who don't cooperate.
I'm out of it for a few weeks and this is what happens. How many names can a person have? Anyone can change their name any number of times if not for fraudulent purposes. My brother changed his middle name from something normal to Cariboo. My dad's a lawyer so the fees were zero. Can I use Major Variola (ret) as a nym since I use it? Must I spell my last (real) name which is hard to write as its from another language? Can I abbreviate? Can I have a religious exemption (We do not identify our religion to nonbelievers, nor do we speak to government officials, in my faith). Can I use cyrillic or mandarin to write it, a temporary bout of elective mutism? Of course lying to a pig is illegal (but not vice versa) but lying is subject to interpretation. My name is yahway, ie I am. Yours is go away, ie fuck off. Go for the head shot, they're wearing body armor. Suicide by police is a noble cause, if you take one of them out.

It is precisely for these reasons that changing your name in Germany is a major undertaking (costs money, too), and is associated with a background check (clean rap sheet requried). The transcription rules for furriner names are strict, too. No Phn'glui M'gl wna'f, Cthulhu R'lyeh Wgha Nagl Ftaghn for you. Such legislation, of course, is easy to introduce in the U.S. as well. I'd be really surprised of you US cpunks didn't have a national ID cum biometrics issued (er, make that rammed down your throat) a few years downstream. Unless the general populace wakes up to the fact what's been going on since the 1970s.

Just as well. They'd probably make you fill the form out in triplicate, and that could be .... unwise ....

In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits knitting? I think a few typos may have crept into that one.

No, you're thinking of Hast(&%#^& Error: No route to host.
