Your ignorance of Ben Franklin's quote is duly noted.
And here I thought you were quoting the Delano Roosevelt Franklin.
Nice way to skirt the issue.
Your SCORN is devastating.
Remember the Hat,Billy!
True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted that everyone has an easy time of mastering. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult.
If I had known, that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space.
I wish you the best of luck in the emotional, and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.
Very charitable of you Bill.
Good to know that so-called "normal people" arm themselves with professionally prepared photos of sheep watching our President on TV.
Must be nice being a "normal" agent for the AlQueda.
Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation
5. Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the primary 'attack the messenger' ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach.
Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as 'kooks', 'right-wing', 'liberal', 'left-wing', 'terrorists', 'conspiracy buffs', 'radicals', 'militia', 'racists', 'religious fanatics', 'sexual deviates', and so forth.
This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with issues.
Example: 'You believe what you read in the Spotlight? The Publisher, Willis DeCarto, is a well-known right-wing racist. I guess we know your politics -- does your Bible have a swastika on it? That certainly explains why you support this wild-eyed, right-wing conspiracy theory.'
While FREEP is off the air for the next 30 days you might wish to entertain yourself by looking up the meaning of "paranoid schizophrenia and adult psychosis".
And since we will have past his birthday celebration, let me pass on my Happy Birthday Adolph Hitler greetings to you now.
Please remember: they are really out to get you.
It's to identify and capture terrorists. To be against being personally traceable and trackable is tantamount to being soft on terror. If there is one more terrorist attack, it will be the fault of the people who are against tracking people with RFIDs.
Sorry, you lose.
Goodbye now.
Enjoy your RFID tag.

I assume you left off the "sarcasm" tag?
If you are being serious...there's really nothing more to say...you are utterly cluelsee.
I did leave off the "You can't name one right or abuse that would occur if everybody was required to have an RFID."
If you are being serious...you are utterly cluelsee.
Good luck marking the law abiding Christians with your tag.
But you go ahead and pony up and be tagged(and controlled).
All U.S. citizens to receive National ID card by 2008
The Real ID Act, passed by Congress and signed by President Bush on May 11, 2005, mandates that all U.S. citizens will receive a National ID card (with RFID chip) by May of 2008.
Without this National ID, you won't...
* Drive your car
* Board a plane, train, or bus
* Enter any federal building
* Open a bank account
* Hold a job
If you cant hold a job or have a bank account, how much buying and selling will you be able to do?
It amazes me how many "sheep" here call themselves "conservatives".
Seems to be a few of these anti-freedom trolls on this thread.
That looks like a poster for a spooky sci-fi movie, not a government program. That actually sent chills up my spine, the notion that people would welcome this kind of surveillance blows my mind. It's even more shocking when so-called conservatives promote it.

How about this one (that has actually happened, though I can't find the article right now):
Couple decides to divorce. Wife plays the abuse card with no evidence whatsoever that any abuse has occurred in a ploy to gain full custody of the children. Wife gets grocery store to release records of purchases (through those little club cards - the precursor to RFID) showing how much beer is bought by husband. Wife successfully convinces court that she was likely abused because husband drank (in her opinion) too much beer. Wife convinces court husband has drinking problem despite his not having ANY problems with DUIs, work, or anything connected to alcohol. Family & friends testify that he does not drink heavily or have any problems.
Court awards custody to wife.
With RFID, there is no way to make any purchase anywhere anytime that cannot be later be used against you in some way. Think: alcohol. Guns. Ammunition. ANYTHING. Your purchase can be completely innocent, it's what the government or others do with that information that is troubling. Why some fail to see that befuddles me.
This doesn't even get into the tracking your movements aspect of it..........
