"Chipping" Away at our Freedom

Would you be willing to have an electronic chip embedded in your body for medical reasons? How about to track your health and financial records? Maybe keep your resume and work history? Well, maybe even your Social Security number, your driver's license, and your banking balance. Things would be so much easier; plus if you got lost in the Oregon wilderness, like poor James Kim and his family, you could be found quickly through Global Positioning Systems.

Well, all of these wonderful things are closer than you realize: like a frog sitting in a pot of water, slowly brought to boil, we won't know we are cooked until the chef prepares the serving plate: "A Generation is All They Need" by Kevin Haggarty for the Toronto Star.
