There are many benefits to the chip, no doubt about it... but the major disadvantage trumps EVERY benefit.

No, you're not Satan.

Take some time to read about Bible prophesy and notice how its all coming to pass.

This way, when they want everyone to have their chip implanted, you'll know whats going down.

If I had this chip installed wouldn't my GF be able to tell I was at the bar and not out doing an estimate?

What happens if you get struck by lightning and your chip got scrambled into giving off someone else's signal? What if that signal was Osama's? Might the Air Force just drop a missile on your ass right away rather than checking first?

It's a matter of perspective and opinion. Some people are super fearful of a government conspiracy, of 1984 and Big Brother. Others aren't, and don't see what all the hype is about. To me, a National ID is fine, to others, they scream of 1984. Think Patriot Act, and terrorism, how many in here have screamed of their civil liberties being taken away or violated, while others ask how, where when and why. It'll always come down to personal opinion. I'm somewhere in between I guess. I don't want a chip installed at birth, but I do want a National ID that prevents people who shouldn't have an ID from getting one.

Oh yeah. Just ask Hamid Karzai about that.
