The benefit of the chip is it is much more secure than a simple magnetic strip or a simple bar code. It'd be rather simple to duplicate someones bar code tattoo with over the counter technology. The microchip would be able to use variable data while the tattoo couldn't. The chip is hackable, but personally I'd be less worried about a criminal hacking it than an involuntary upgrade by the ones who gave it to me.  And what would this hypothetical involuntary upgrade do, exactly? Would it do anything that couldn't be done without the chip? |

For one thing, it could be upgraded to not work anymore, thus preventing someone from buying or selling in a "cashless" society. Duh! |

Hey, Vegas Devil, here's one for you. You like polls, right? You believe in majority rule, right? Does anybody actually believe in majority rule? I mean, qualified majority rule, sure. But just majority rule? Has there ever been a single country that even tried it? Of course. Wouldn't everybody? No, everybody wouldn't. Looks as if Vegas doesn't want to comment, except to ask questions like, "You do know how democracies work, right?" How democracies work is neither here nor there. We do not have a democracy. |

No, everybody wouldn't. Such as...? No, you don't. For which you should be thankful, given what a horrible system of government a straight democracy would be. What you have is a limited democracy. |

And which particular constitutional limits on government power would you like to see removed? Or maybe you'd like to scrap government altogether and run things via referendum on every issue? |

Did I say I wanted any constitutional limits on government power removed? BTW, I tried to solve your question on the INTK board but haven't found anything yet. Sorry. Thought it might be an episode of Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected. |

Did I say I wanted any constitutional limits on government power removed? No. That's why I asked. To find out if you did. You want a more direct democracy, yes? In what way? Thank you kindly for the effort. I've been googling like mad and found nothing yet. |

He's British, and there's some British TV programming which is never shown here in the states. |

Dr. Oz says the RFID implant might be the next big thing. Unfortunately, I think he's right. A fair amount of R & D went into making the chip implantable, and I can't imagine the scenario in which someone made an investment without expecting a profitable return. That's why a Mythbusters episode about the RFID ain't gonna happen. We won't see it. We'll see happy, upbeat, positive stuff like this instead:

Of course. Wouldn't everybody? Not necessarily. If 90% of the population thinks something is a really good idea and is necessary to "make the world a better place" then can't you see a situation where they would feel justified in forcing the remaining 10% to comply regardless of how they felt? Take a comparable example - say there was a marked increase of terrorist attacks/illegal aliens committing crimes/whatever in a country and it was decided that one tactic to help crack down on suspects was to have everyone carry a government issued ID card on them at all times which they would be required to show on demand to any law enforcement agent. And that the overwhelming proportion of the population supported this and were happy to comply with this, but a tiny minority didn't want to and refused to carry the ID cards or have anything to do with them. First of all, could you imagine this scenario being at all possible in a country? And if it did, would you say that the tiny minority that refused to carry the ID cards were well within their rights to refuse and should face no sanctions? |
