Subject: Re: Worldnetdaily: YOUR PAPERS, PLEASE ...Human ID implant to be
unveiled soon
They made a movie of it? i wonder if the movie was anything similar to the
book. I read the book while in High School in the sixties. It was hot
stuff at the time but (as always) rather tame now.
I'm in favor of implants...not necessarily ID implants though (unless it
suites my purposes)....I want implants that augment my capabilities. Like
mike mentioned some time ago....the road to a "soft" upload.....
The thing I like about this is that it's a step in the right direction.
However the tracking function can be a problem. A few years ago tracking
devices were initiated on some trucks....i had one and I hated
it.....primarily because the overeducated moron at the other end of the link
had no clue as to the real conditions i was facing when he commanded that I
do such and such. I got rather ingenious in disabling the tracking
function.
Now Big Brother wants to mandate something similar on all commercial
vehickles. I dissaprove....
