CA Bill Limits Skin Implantation of RFID Chips

twitter writes with a link to a ZDNet blog entry about a piece of legislation submitted to the California state senate. Drafted by Democratic Senator Joe Simitian, its purpose is to ensure that employers cannot require the implantation of RFID chips as part of employment. It is meeting with scorn from the American Electronics Association. "'Our bottom line is we're opposed to anything that demonizes RFIDs,' she said. 'The technology has been in existence for more than 50 years. It's in more than 1.2 billion ID credentials worldwide. ... We've not seen a single showing of ID theft or harm,' said Roxanne Gould, vice president for California government relations for the American Electronics Association, a high-tech industry group."

Christians actually read the bible? by cosinezero · 2007-06-25 02:08 · Score: 0, Flamebait

If christians actually read the bible and applied it to politics, they would have thrown Bush Sr. out for attempting to build his "New World Order" - the one world government prophesized in Revelations. The very fact that Christians haven't attempted to remove either Bush is evidence that they don't apply the prophesies in their bible to anything they perceive suits their cause. Which is ironic, because if you believe in the bible (I don't, but have read it quite a bit) the "anti-christ", the "great deciever" sounds a lot like Dictator Bush, more and more every day.
