Big Brother Indeed (none / 0)
Ya that's probably not going to fly.

As far as crime goes. What's to stop people from going back to the barter system and/or robbying people for jewelry. What about gold and silver or other fairly easy to value commodities?

I don't think it is going to have the results you want to stop crime. Criminals are very resourcefull. Just look at what goes on in the prison system.

If Big Brother would be controlled? (none / 0)
I admit that it would not have those extrem influences on crime that I would be hoping for. Well at least they would pay taxes.

However, when you want to ignore the crime fighting, all informations could be handled anonymously. If the banks would just have a finger print and an identification number, it would be even more anonymous than nowadays.
How the privacy issues are going to be handled can really be talked about. With some thinking we could get to a solution.

The main problem is that it would require a revolution, because the system would be so fair that the big cats wouldn't stand for it. No matter how much the people on this forum say, when nothing changes or things get worse, there's going to be a violent revolution, I don't believe the people in America, or Europe are still capable of revolution.
