RFID and You!

So the city of San Marcos wants all of the dogs to be micro-chipped or else pay a big fine. There are many reasons why this is absurd, but primarily because personal responsibility is not legislatable. http://www.statesman.com/news/content/news/stories/local/01/19/0119smanimal.html

In other RFID news something called NOX is being set up in stores nationwide. Wonder why there was such a big push recently to sell you those reusable bags? Not that less waste is bad, but this really made me wonder about true intent: http://www.rebelnews.org/technology/big-brother/new-rfid-technology-allows-you-to-be-tracked-without-your-knowledge-200901211159/

Scariest of all: A woman at city hall demonstrated that she had been implanted with a chip! Scarier still she's been to all the schools telling the kids what a great thing it is!
