Comment

In response to Craig Golby. You are not a clinical psychologist, hold no credentials or qualifications as a psyciatrist and yet you make a diagnosis of madness to anybody who may disagree with you.

It is this kind of empty, blind and closed mindedness that makes compulsary RFID chips and ID cards so scary. You cannot create a counter argument and so anyone who disagrees must be mad, you attack the person and not the argument.

The 'if you disagree you must be mad' argument is one used prominently by dictators and tyrants the world over. Added to this the technology of chipped humans linked to Government databases and you have the perfect recipe for an enslaved population.

Craig, you are free to disagree with me, you can freely call me mad. You can freely (at this time) call Tony Blair, G.W.Bush or anybody else you wish mad. However, with this technology, (an implanted RFID chip linked to an entitlements database) you could easily have your entitlements stopped for merely disagreeing with the polititicians of the time.

This scenario is not so far fetched, who'd have thought 4 years ago that the US and UK Governments would be detaining individuals without trial and holding them in prisons/camps without charge or legal representation?

It's like you are being herded into a steel cage for your own safety. Only it is not untill you are inside that cage that you realise the danger is inside with you and you cannot get out.

The Governments in the future may be benign, but do you want to give them that ultimate power? Do you know for certain that all future Governments will be benign?

You have no guarentee of a safe and free future. This technology if implemented takes the choices out of our hands.
