"there is little that the chip would do that has not already been common practice for years. "
Having a piece of paper you carry around with that identifies you for tax purposes and identifies you as the mother of your children, well........that's why I don't mind having a piece of paper with a number on it.
Chips are invasive and they can track you with them. They are IN you. Sort of like house arrest. It's UNNATURAL.
If you can't see the difference, they you are completely blind.
It's the difference between Charlie walking ten paces behind me and having his thing in me, you dolt!
