Utah Leads the Way Toward RFID Privacy Legislation
An anonymous reader writes "Wired News reports that Utah's House of Representatives passed the first-ever RFID privacy bill this week, 47-23. Utah state Rep. David Hogue said that without laws to ensure consumer privacy, retailers will be tempted to match the data gathered by RFID readers with consumers' personal information. 'The RFID industry will carry the technology as far as they can,' said Hogue, sponsor of the Radio Frequency Identification Right to Know Act. 'Marketing people especially are going to love this kind of stuff.'"
You mod this to a 2,Funny! At best it's off-topic. At worst it's stereotyping an entire state based on something that has not legally existed for over 100 years!!
Come on Slashdot!

It's always funny to see a person that belongs to the LDS church accusing other of being narrow minded. The Mormon Faith is the very definition of narrow mindedness.
What other major religion taught that blacks where cursed and not allowed to hold the priesthood until 1978: Official Declaration #2
This is the religion that preaches that American Indians have dark skin because they were wicked and disobedient to gods commands.
Verse 21-23
I'm pointing to what your religion publishes on the net. These links are your scriptures. Bigotry is still part of your beliefs.
I'm sorry but Utah will always garner negative opinions due to the narrow mindedness of the faith that controls the majority of the population of that state.
Can I maintain my right to *hate* Utah, I spent 20 years of my life there? Well, I'll ease up just a touch, I hate Utahns more than I hate Utah as a state itself. I do have to give Utah respect due to the beautiful scenery, mountains, and general environment.
YOU'RE WINNER !
Another lame blog
I didn't say I accepted homosexual marriage. I'be happy to ridicule homosexuals as much as Mormons. Though personally, I think it would be easier to be homosexual and married than heterosexual and have more than one wife. At least the homosexual only has one partner to come home to each night. I pity the man that has to come home to more than one wife bitching at him each night.
I'm not a homophobe. I'm not scared of homosexuals or of finding I have a homosexual nature. I'm simply disgusted by what they do.
I'm not prejudiced. I'm an equal opportunity racist.

(Journal of Discourses 7:290)
"You see some classes of the human family THAT ARE BLACK, uncouth, uncomely, DISAGREEABLE and low in their habits. WILD, and seemingly deprived of nearly all the blessings of the intelligence that is generally bestowed upon mankind. Cain slew his brother, Cain might have been killed, and that would have put a termination to that line of human beings. THIS WAS NOT TO BE. and THE LORD PUT A MARK UPON HIM, which is THE FLAT NOSE and THE BLACK SKIN. How long is that race to endure the dreadful curse that is upon them? That curse will remain upon them, AND they NEVER can hold the Priesthood OR share in it UNTIL ALL (ALL) the other descendants of Adam have received the promises and enjoyed the blessings of the Priesthood and the keys thereof. UNTIL THE LAST ONES of the residue of Adam's children are brought up to that favorable position, the children of Cain CANNOT receive the first ordinances of the Priesthood. They were the first that were cursed, AND they will be THE LAST from whom the curse will be removed. When the residue of the family of Adam come up and receive their blessings, THEN (then) the curse will be removed from the seed of Cain, and they will receive blessings in like proportion."
Look it up for yourself. As a Mormon are tought to steer clear of "Anti-Mormon" literature.
What you refer to as "Anti-Mormon" literature the rest of us call history.
It sickened me too to find all this garbage in the Mormon closet after serving a mission and being a faithful member that was married in the temple. You and I were trained to discount this kind of information immediately and file it on the forbidden "Anti Mormon" shelf in our brains. The facts speak for themselves.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. You won't find this information in the Church manuals because all church history is sterilized for Mormon consumption. How do you like your bullshit?
