Is this like "stand your ground" but without the gunfire? |

NB, might work better as QR codes. |

I don't think this would change society in a desireable direction. Too easily leads to people wearing Stars of David, scarlet letters, and the like. No website would be required. Do Crips members need to look up graffiti styles to understand Blood territory? |

I don't think this idea solves the problems posed. |

Take a random survey of people who wear crosses, etc, on a necklace or whatever. I'm sure you'd get answers as diverse as: |
|
| |
- I'm a Christian and let me tell you about the Bible! |
|
| |
- I like the way it looks |
|

Same would happen with this colour system. |

//the moral and philosophical foundation by which one lives.// |

So only a handfull of people would wear this? |

It is easy to find people that advocate a moral, philosophical, or religious foundation but virtually impossible to find people that actually live by them. |

On a voluntary basis, better self-identification makes great sense. But to paraphrase Groucho Marx, no one wants to be put into the same box that would take them. Most blogs have blinkered every byte without recharging their basic profile pages. |

//It is easy to find people that advocate a moral, philosophical, or
religious foundation but virtually impossible to find people that actually
live by them.// Quite right. The idea is of no use without either some kind
of peer-review process, or a central authentication authority that hands
out face-slaps to silly folk who self-identify, despite all evidence to the
contrary that they are, for example; Radical Feminists (of the "everything
is rape variety"), Fundamentalist Muslims (of the beheading bent), Tea-
Party Members (of the "bring down the government" kind), Socialists (of the
concrete block dropping, thuggish type), "Community Workers" (of the
racial-tension whirling up type, who usually are happy to accept government
funding to help them get on TV) etc, when in fact, the very vast majority
of them are just self-aggrandising attention-seekers willing to take
ridiculous and counter-helpful stances in order to build up and validate
their own unfortunate existences. I'd happily take a pay-cut to help
invigilate such a service. |

So what the meaning of Moshe Dayan's? |
