Big Brother also feels we should insert a microchip and homing device in the right arm of every baby so we can tell when they've had naughty thoughts and then track them down for newthink.

They're already chipping any animal you get from the SPCA -- mandatory. Soon, you won't leave the hospital without chipping your new child.

Heck, almost three years ago, when we had our son, they gave us a lot of crap for not filling out the papers to get his SSN before we were discharged. It was disgraceful, the way the nurses acted.
