"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Pentagon to implant microchips in soldiers' brains | Press Esc

Pentagon to implant microchips in soldiers' brains | Press Esc: "Soldiers fear that the biochip, about the size of a grain of rice, which measures and relays information on soldiers vital signs 24 hours a day, can be used to put them under surveillance even when they are off duty."

This means that we are one step closer to the chipping of the population, for our own safety of course. First it was Alzheimer's patients down in Florida, who cannot sufficiently agree to the implantation. Now are military boys, who cannot refuse an order, will be the next victims to receive this uniquely-identifiable, and easily tracked, implant. Any RFID reader within range will be able to track where they go, and the RFID readers, even for passive devices, are gaining range every day as the technology improves. Who will they chip next? The mentally ill? Prisoners? When will the marketing campaign begin to chip the rest of us.

The government also has a long history of using our soldiers to test new drugs and other items that have been far from proven safe and effective. In this war, soldiers were unknowingly forced to test an anthrax vaccine, and many had dire consequences from it. In fact, according to this article, three out of four soldiers reported an adverse reaction. This is only one example of our soldiers being used as guinea pigs, and here, there are some more examples.

It is bad enough that many of these guys are dying to protect our country, or oil as the case may be, but to be also forced to suffer, or even die, from a government experiment is simply an atrocity.

This is scary! How in the world we got there? I prefer to die than to take a RFID under my skin.

Through a slow desensitization to the loss of our rights as Americans. For instance, 3/4 of people support cameras on the street to fight crime. We have been slowly introduced to cameras through retail stores, and we all see the footage shown on reality crime programs, where the bad man is caught and arrested. Then something like 9/11 is dropped into our laps, and we decide that catching terrorists is a good enough reason to loose our privacy.

The same process has been used to lead up to RFID implants. How many times has the average person been asked for ID in the last year? Even if you don't drive, you are expected to, and in many cases need to, go to the DMV to get a non-driver's ID. If you want any part of the American lifestyle, a car, a house, etc, you must show ID. Then it spreads to menial tasks, liker showing your ID at the door of a government building. It becomes convenient to have your ID on you. Therefore, it is even more convenient to never be able to forget it, and Americans love nothing more than convenience.
