I think we are talking about implanting chips. There's nothing subtle about putting an object in your body that's not supposed to be there. Barcodes and credit cards are a little different.

How will you survive if you can not purchase any goods? It is like a death sentence! What if 51 percent of the population want the chip in any given country, would the other 49% be forced to get the chip?

Soul, you must not have grown up on a farm. I know farmers that could live for a very long time without ever going to town. They have milk, meat, water, faith and a gift for gab, to barter for what they need, and a resourcefulness, if they can't barter they think of something else that will work, that is unsurpassed.
Fortunately, this ole gal happens to be married to one.

I wouldn't take it. I would die first. But it won't be like that "Take it or die!" It will be suttle. Take credit cards for example. Or bar codes. You use them everyday. Nobody told you had to, but thats the way it worked out. Bar codes are on nearly everything you buy. You have to use them. Credit cards are everywhere, easy to use, and if you shop online, its sometimes the only way to "buy or sell." I think it will be a suttle thing. Like one day we wake up, and we're all using chips at the grocery store.
