Here's a stupid idea - using credit cards to authenticate voters and participants in e-government. Why a stupid idea? Well if you knew how many years I was denied a credit card (the consequence of student loans) you would understand - I see no reason to be denied my franchise simply because I have a bad credit rating. (You know - it's funny how professionals, including professors and journalists, think of their lifestyle as 'normal'. Trust me, it's not. Most people don't have retirement savings plans, summer homes, two car garages, investment portfolios, and the like. But you'd never know, following the media.)
