That still doesn't convince me to rush out and get one. I think it's an insane idea anyway.

What good is this going to do if you are in an ER in LA? You aren't going to see a doctor in time anyway.

[Atlas Sneezed]

I'm still trying to imagine the medical emergency that requires information stored on a chip. People with allergies and other ailments like diabetes can wear ID bracelets, if they are worried about needing emergency medical care while unconscious.

Heck, if it were an issue, I wouldn't care about an unobtrusive tattoo for my blood type.

Imagine a pattern of freckles between your toes. of the 4 spaces between the toes on one foot, they represent A, B, and +, plus a checkbit. If you are type AB+, you have a dot in each space. If you are O neg, you have only the checkbit.

Or, for specific ailments and allergies that emercencgy medical personnel should know about, a discreet but accessible location (under arm, behind ear, inside mouth) that could be tattooed with a tiny braille like dot code, with each code indicating a given condition.)

All voluntary, and all cheaply and effectively solving essentially every (non-nefarious) problem solved by these chips.

This is truly frightening. I can think of a ton of uses off the top of my head. Of course the chip will be required by:

1) Health ins. companies.
2) Secretary of state (Drivers Liscenses).
3) The courts.
4) To receive marriage liscenses.
5) The IRS.
6) Property tax collectors.
7) Sales tax collectors, gotta make sure you don't purchase anything outside your state boundaries.
8) Airlines.
9) Passport replacement.
10) Birth Certificates.

Then it is just an easy transition to replace your ATM card, Grocery Cards, Video rental cards, etc.

But make no mistake, it will never be required at the voting booth!

It's all about people control...
and control is antithetical to freedom...

The Republicans form the tools the Democrats will use against us

I hate to rain on Tommy's parade, but Bill Clinton was the first to have chips implanted in his body; usually sour cream and onion flavored ones.

[mabelkitty]

Screw 'im.
I'll take my chances and die in the street before I get an implant.

This describes Revelation 17 exactly. To expedite the chipping process they already have buses to come to your city.

Receive the mark (chip) and there is no forgiveness. Please be warned and take this very seriously.

[MEGoody]

I think it's an insane idea anyway.

Me too.

[Lazamataz]

They can put one of these things in my cold dead corpse.
