Chip implants don't seem completely bad, no one could get mugged or have money stolen and identity fraud will no longer exist.
And can someone point out how having bar codes on us stops people from being free?
The government can already disable cash flows and stop banks giving money to people who they suspect is up to no good anyway so what exactly will the chip change?
So the government will know who we are, where we live, where we work and what we do. What will that amount to? Billions and Billions of profile reports. What are they going to do with that? And what possible harm can the powers that be owning this information cause?
For all you know, this could already have happened, there could be tiny cameras in the fridges, microwaves, computers... All our technology, they could know anything and everything about us.
Has it changed anything? If say, yesterday there where cameras like in "The Truman Show" all over the place, would you have had less freedom.
Here is an edit. I just realised that it isn't the fact that people are watching us that is the problem, it is the thought that people are watching us that takes away the freedom. The crows are unable to eat the grain if a scarecrow is put up there. We are unable to feel freedom of choice when there is the thought that all we do is recorded.
