This article just gets me steaming. Essentially, doctors are pushing to have embeddable chips placed inside people for the "safety and efficiency of patient care." What a crock of shit. This is invasion of privacy at its finest.

I also love the last sentence of the article where it implies that patients may not have a choice in this matter or may not be told. If any medical professional put something in me without my knowledge I'd probably beat the living shit out of him or her.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'I')t recommended that the devices not be implanted without the informed consent of patients and that doctors monitor their use.

they want everyone chipped
is as simple as that
has nothing to do with health care

if someone put a chip in me, i'd rip it out.

You guys are just not thinking of the safety issues and convenience factor.

Credit card theft and identity theft would be a thing of the past. Swipe of your hand and off you go, no more looking for your credit card.

If you got in an accident the doctors would know exactly what your health history was.

All hail the Beast who is as great and mighty as him?

Really there is no down side except the burning hell part.

Might as well. That is what it is all coming down to anyway.

I am going to die anyway might as well do it by standing up for what I believe in.

I think it's a good idea as long it doesn't contain anything anything but medical records, not even a name, and the ACLU better make sure of that!!

Yup Ferrel

That about sums it up. As this world we live in comes apart there are going to be desperate attempts to hold the whole thing together.

Every nation in the world will be faced with dire political and social pressures. The options to keep things together will be few.

Some places where they already have terrible civil order will just descend into like Africa. The choices for other nations will be either to veer one way or the other to the right or the left. But for governments to keep any amount of control they will have to have more power and control than they already do.

The Great Depression is the best example of how things are likely going to work out. The strains of the world wide economic depression gave rise to fascist Italy, Spain and Germany, the USA veered sharply towards a more socialist style approach to Government.

The biggest difference between now and then is that back then Companies and Industry were more tied to the National interest of the state. Now with global companies and financial institutions, the goals of global business supper cede some of the ideas of the State.

This is why a new global economic system is becoming a foregone conclusion. Businesses already do not care what the chosen system for civil regulations is that why global business flourishes in Communist China or capitalist America.

The thinking is set, business is global the economy is global, when the full effects of PO set in business and banking will demand new powers and systems that allow them to operate globally.

Why print money when you can implant a chip? Just think each and every transaction and be recorded and regulated.

Yeah but the banks are willing to take that risk.
