It always amazes me how gullable people are. Almost all of Americans already have a chip and they don't even know it because they carry it in their pocket or on their waist. Yes you guessed it it is your cell phone and it will tell who you are where you are and where you have been they can also be fixed to turn on the microphone remotley to listen in on you at any time. So this new law in Georgia is just fluff even if it does have good intentions because soon we will be doing all transactions and communications through are phones.
"I don't know anything about the people, or the machines they are using, but I know they are there checking their locations," Morgan said. "I've seen fifty billion locations over the past year or so. I can see where people are, what they are doing, what streets are busy at different times of day. At an anonymous aggregate level, I can see how the world is moving around."

I'm sorry, but I don't see how electronic health records is a threat to anyone's liberties.
Centralized data of a person's medical history would solve a lot of problems.

Sorry to you as well. Did you look at the progression of comments and sources in my post? You sound like perhaps you are you caught up in the idea health care reform is about helping people? I am not.
I consider a federal reg or law requiring me to have a chip implanted in my body with govt info on it an assault of the highest order to my liberties.

you sir, have connected the dots, that should illustrate the point made by my states decision to outlaw chipping. Now, onto the skeptics!

I don't know if it is a coordinated conspiracy or a natural evolution, but it is certainly happening now.
We went from bartering wares, to bartering gold and gems, to printing local currencies, silver notes, and coins, to a Federal Currency, to a Credit based system, to a inter-connected Debit based system which was then adopted by the Federal Government to distribute welfare and social security. Direct Deposit became mandatory at most employers, especially government or larger corporate ones.
All the while we developed a system to store magnetic imprints and ID numbers. This system evolved to become biologically safe and began to hold more than just ID numbers, now it can hold all necessary data. The system was rolled out for pets and used successfully, then it transitioned to teens and club-goers as a novelty. Now it is being touted for medical histories, criminals, and newborns.
Lest we not forget, that while these two evolutions were going, we also became immeasurably centered around Social Security numbers. Less than 100 years ago they were entirely voluntary. Then they became important for Selective Service of 18 year old males, then they became important for everyone to get government benefits, then they became important for children, and now they come and meet you in the hospital and assign one to your baby within hours after birth!?!
Now, on the sidelines, we have immigration debate changing lawmakers perception of Driver's License numbers, and we have a push for a National Identification Card, and some Uniformity from state to state regarding ID's?
If you don't see at least a little bit of Conspiracy in the developments of the last 50 to 70 years, then you are not looking very hard!
Like I say, maybe this is a natural evolution of technology and politics. Maybe Marx was correct in assuming that a Capitalistic society ultimately becomes a Socialistic one. Maybe everyone that enacted all of these laws had the best of intentions. Maybe lawmakers really do care if I wear my seatbelt and if I have a retirement plan and health insurance. And maybe the writers of the Bible foresaw all of this a few thousand years ago!
A dystopia (from the Ancient Greek δυσ-: bad-, ill- and τόπος: place, landscape) (alternatively, cacotopia,[1], or anti-utopia) is a vision, of an often futuristic society, which has developed into a negative version of Utopia. A Dystopia is often characterized by an authoritarian or totalitarian form of government. It often features different kinds of repressive social control systems, a lack or total absence of individual freedoms and expressions and a state of constant warfare or violence.
