I vant to be alone!
I love my privacy! Hell, I love YOUR privacy. And chips.
Casino chips, poker chips, tortilla chips, potato chips.
But I draw the line at Radio Frequency IDentification chips!
They suck with salsa! And I don’t want one in my body!
If I wanted implants, I'd call Dr. 90210!

These Super Spy Chips are already invading our personal space. These sly buggers (or bugs) are Big Brother in a tiny package. Which is why I really don’t want one put into my body, as companies like Applied Digital Systems hope to gain government contracts to do.

RFID technology operates by incorporating electromagnetic or electrostatic coupling in the radio frequency (RF) portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to pinpoint and identify an object, animal, or person. Retailers are already using RFID an alternative to the bar code.

These puppies are already in, well, puppies. Lots of veterinarians offer the service of injecting a chip in your pet, so if Rover gets lost and turned in to the pound, he’ll get scanned and you’ll get a phone call to come pick him up.
They are also in the new US passports and quite possibly your sweatshirt or hoodie. KSW-Microtec, a German company, invented washable RFID tags to be sewn into clothing, and Wal*Mart has already taken advantage. Gillette recently purchased 500 million RFID tags from Alien Technology of Morgan Hill, California. While we do have an Austrian Alien running the Golden State
( anyone remember what happened the last time we let one of those guys be in charge? ), the California Senate recently passed SB 362, a ban on forced RFID implantation for companies requiring employees to implant RFID chips in their bodies. Earlier this year, North Dakota also banned forced RFID implantation in humans. Wisconsin passed similar legislation in 2006. Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma and Florida are also debating such legislation.

In places like Ibiza, nightclubs implant chips in the palms of VIP members so they can pad their tabs with a wave of the hand.

I don’t need to be that cool. Ever.

I’m moving to Mayberry.

You've got that right. My Vet offered the implant chips for my cats. i said no thank you. I'd rather have planters warts, than ID implants. Schwartzie used to be an action adventure movie star. What the heck happened to Him?

Have you heard about the new Passports they're plannning? They're cards like credit cards with a magnetic strip that holds all your personal information on it. How sick, how fascist, how invasive can you get? I don't want to be a chip off the old block!

Now, Renee, the real smart folks who came up with "Liberty Chips" just want ta keep ya safe, like them puppies, or them cute li'l sheep out inna pasture.
How's a good shepherd gonna mind his flock, 'less he kin fine, er, I mean find um?

Ain't you afeared o' them Bad Folks, who wanna fly a plane inta yer house, or take ya off ta Kyrgyzstan or somesuch place?

We gotta stick tagether, an' Liberty Chips will help the Good Guys tell whose naughty or nice.

Really.

Ok, fine, but only if I have all access to your information. Through the freedom of information act I should be able to obtain it anyway, unless the Liberty Coalition takes away that right as well. I mean you personally no harm with my statement. Only an opinion.

Did you hear about the Concentration Camps that are located in Wisconsin? Please, take some time and find out if these camps are real or not. I would like to know and you have the right and liberty to find out as of Today. Let's not change a good thing. Peace, Blessing, No fear, and I commend you for your Bold reply.

Fear?

Submitted by Catherine Guzior on October 30, 2007 - 5:18pm.

I have no fear, God is my shepard. Twin Towers bad thing, Oklahoma bombing bad thing, A new war with Iran, bad thing. global warming, bad thing, government coverups, bad thing. But, i can't live in Fear, that would take away my freedon to Pursue Happiness. Be Brave, young soldier. You live in the home of the Brave.

Catherine, please forgive my reckless flippancy in my reply of 10/25. I attempted a rather clumsy simulation of the sort of mindset which might embrace the chip-set agenda.
I do endorse the conquest of fear, so long as potential threats to liberty are acknowledged and met decisively, rather than denied or ignored.
I pursue Truth, to facilitate Service to Greater Good, which leads to Happiness.
I am not, nor will be, a soldier. A Warrior, yes, seeking to meet the challenges of life with impeccable skill. I understand the path of the soldier to be one of submission to human organization and political agendas, and reject it on principle. The politics of this state seem to me corrupt, the consequence of excessive concentration of power.
Though Bravery is to be found here, widely, if I dare to generalize, I must assess this nation as the home of the Distracted, the Mis-guided, the semi-conscious.
Last note: Shepherds are for sheep, and I embrace the audacious and (to some) heretical notion that humans have a higher purpose than acting as submissive flock to some Sublime Pastoralist.
I bow to no Father, but do honor and serve my Mother, the Earth, whom I call Gaia, and her conscious spirit, Sophia.

Harm none, oppose those who do harm,
And celebrate participation in
Creation.
