Colorado to Discuss Retinal Scans, Fingerprinting to Secure Prescription Drugs
Security Management ^ | 3-12-12 | Carlton Purvis

Posted on 03/14/2012 3:36:58 PM PDT by dynachrome

A retinal scan to verify that the person filling the prescription is the same person it was prescribed to, patient data sent over encrypted communications to check for drug interactions and preventing doctor shopping--all of this information, plus some, in a statewide database. This could be the future of medicine access control.

Colorado lawmakers want to make medication dispensing more secure by establishing a new medical database and requiring biometric verification when patients fill prescriptions, but critics of the plan worry that with the amount of data lawmakers want to collect, information breaches could be more damaging to patients than ever before.

“No, the druggies were ruining only themselves - it’s the War On Drugs and the “conservatives” who cheer for it who ruined it for everybody.”

I’m glad you finally posited an honest Us/Them syllogism.

As I’ve been saying for a couple of weeks now, you are not a conservative. You are a liberaltarain, and as such, you are more closely aligned with liberal DemocRats who also identify ideologically with the radical individualism that Bork in “Slouching Towards Gomorrah” so brilliantly argues is one of two demons that is destroying American culture from within.

There's a reason I put "conservatives" in quotes. Fully literate readers understand.

I’m far more literate than you, son.

The quotes do not change the context.

The following proves you're wrong.

The quotes do not change the context.

The quotes indicate that They are not real conservatives.

The Drug warriors and liberals are the biggest threat to our freedoms today.

You were attacking true conservatives.

Like all liberals, you try to redefine the terms to subvert.

Just like we see so many American flags on the cars of people who have bumper stickers supporting blatant communists.

You would have us believe true “conservatives” support the total degradation of society. You are wrong, and the quotation marks do not change the context.

Here's how FR founder Jim Robinson defines conservatism; the elements I've boldfaced clearly go against the War On Drugs. (And no, you may not assume that I'm saying the unboldfaced elements support the War On Drugs.)

"As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America." - Jim Robinson, http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1103363/posts
