The title of this thread is/was the headline of a poll that I happened upon
while visiting the New York Daily News website.
I was flabbergasted at the implications of the cleverly constructed poll answers.
On the surface it seems innocent enough--they are asking a provocative question
and providing an easy means of answering the question for the purpose of taking a poll.
BUT...
As you will see, only one "con" answer is provided, versus four "pro" answers
and two "unsure" answers.
Although, it is very subtle, to me this is clear manipulation of opinion.
Here is the actual poll

What is happening here is public conditioning--a slow pervasive manipulation of
opinion EVEN while doing something as innocuous as asking a question...
For me, I would feel better if one of the answers provided had been:
A. It's a completely outrageous proposition and if you even so much as mention
it again I will sock you in the jaw!

The link to the source you provided is not about human barcode's; the title in the article is:
"Cop claims he was stalked by woman he arrested — but she says it’s a fabrication to dismiss her civil suit "

Yea but it only says "on your hand or forehead" I believe so when they do away with cash that could be considered a qualifier. Remember or be able to produce a card to scan to be able to prove ID, or to buy or sell. In fact that is an IRS argument right now. No more cash no more IRS problems.

Someone will just forge the code and drain your accounts.
Anyway, why do you need a code to sit in a bar. I suppose you can punch in a code to get in the door
