Of course it is promotional, but promotion of what? the club or the act of microchipping? I think both. I wouldn't care if one club would be promoted over another. It bothers me how they are saying "look how people volunteered in order to get a chip, why shouldn't you?"

The Chip is rather harmless and those that volunteer are probably doing it in the same way people would get a Tattoo or piercing. I just think the concept of microchipping of the levels seen in the media is just sensationalist.

In the U.S. there is no database of fingerprints. But any interaction you have wtih the government gets fingerprinted. Military, booked by the police, govt jobs. And once that happens your in there forever. You would be suprised at the vast majority of the public are now in the database. They already doing the same with DNA, and most of the public will have their DNA in a central database. Chips are only next on the horizon. |

I would be pretty sure that is a database, although I don't know that for certain. It wouldn't make sense for them not to have one.

What i mean is there is no coercion involved. Although some states began requiring fingerprinting in order to obtain a license, pretty much a necessity for more things than just driving. But if you see what I mean, it started out a small program of convicted felons and finally grew to contain most of the America public without our knowledge or consent. I mean, theoretically its voluntary, if you lived out in a shack out in the mountains and hunted for your food you could avoid it.

There is no room for "might" - It is already happening, the government is gaining more and more control over our daily lives by the day with new laws and technology. By the time we are all happily microchipped, there is little need to "lead" us any further, by then we are not more just slaves for them, cattle if you like - mission accomplished. I know it sounds a little dramatic, but I sincerely believe that microchipping us is not for our best interests. |

Yeah things are quite bad in the US. They recently announced guidelines for its citizens on how to spot a terrorist. For example people who criticize the government and talk about the constitution are all potential terrorists by that document. It is so obvious what they are trying to do - they want to do bad decisions without people criticizing them, without uprisings, revolts etc.
If you could pay for your food in the stores only with the microchip, imagine what power government would have over you. Someone reports you might be a terrorist and your microchip gets turned off and you are left with no money to buy anything. You will die just because you dared to question the authority. Because of the fear, rarely anybody will. Government can pretty much do anything at that point. |
