We're All Going to Be Electronically ID'd

Meggie:

do any of you realize that you’re all walking around with de-activated anti-theft sensors in your shoes?

One time my brother baought shoes and the cashier forgot to deactivate the sensor. If he walked into the store the theft devices would go off…and they even triggered the device the library uses…

You all act like its doomsday. Its just a way of life

Meggie…
For once your signature may well be more right than you know

I think therefore I am(probably wrong) HAHA

1. May I remind you the gates of hell will not prevail
2. The book was 1984, been there done that…people in the 70’s thought we would be living like the Jetsons…get real folks…
3. Mark of the beast? Who cares? I don’t have any moral sins so why should I worry about the end of the world? I would only be worried if I was in moral sin…hmmmmm…

But if what you’re doing is later declared wrong?
Like oh…say…being Catholic?

“Those who give up essential liberties in order to gain temporary safety deserve neither.” I think this was either Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin. I personally think that we are giving up far too much privacy in the U.S. and that we need to stop it soon or there will be no such thing. All this stuff is irrelevent to catching terrorists. They’ve done okay so far without it…why now? Are we scared enough yet to give them what they seem to want?

The argument, “I don’t care. I’m not doing anything wrong.” is terribly naive.

I saw this on a bumper sticker a few years ago:
“I love my country, but I fear my government.”

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves. – William Pitt, speech, Nov. 18, 1783

The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding. – Louis D. Brandeis, ‘Olmstead’ v. ‘the United States’

I am more and more convinced that man is a dangerous creature and that power, whether vested in many or a few, is ever grasping, and like the grave, cries, ``Give, give.’’ – Abigail Adams, letter to John Adams, Nov. 27, 1775

Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God’s service, when it is violating all His laws. – John Adams, letter to Thomas Jefferson, quoted by James Reston, ‘The New York Times’, Nov. 21, 1984

Carelessness about our security is dangerous; carelessness about our freedom is also dangerous. – Adlai Stevenson, speech, Oct. 7, 1952

**The public good is in nothing more essentially interested than in the protection of every individual’s private rights. **-- William Blackstone, ‘Commentaries’

We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. – Gen. Omar Bradley, speech, Armistice Day, 1948

The world has achieved brilliance without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. – Gen. Omar Bradley, speech, Armistice Day, 1948

Knowledge itself is power. – Francis Bacon, ‘Of Heresies’

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. – Edmund Burke,

Be careful friends…
Pax vobiscum,

Please note the authors of these quotes…

Hey, Michael I don’t like it at all:nope: They wanted to put chips in children to keep them safe a while back for their own safety,the chips are called angel chips They can put all the nice little spins they want on it,but for me I will be prudent and decline.It gives me the creeps and I do not think it is a good idea.We should trust God for our safety,not tracking devices.God Bless

2Pe 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly from temptation, but to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be tormented:

2Pe 2:10 And especially them who walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise government: audacious, self willed, they fear not to bring in sects, blaspheming.

Gods still in charge!

Trekkie alert!

We won’t be attacked by the Borg. We’ll already be the Borg.

ID technology will simply be keeping pace with ID Avoidance technology. As people get better at using deceptive IDs or doing illegal things anonymously, the technology for reducing that sort of activity will also get better.

20th century ID technology simply isn’t capable of dealing with the criminal/terrorist threats of the 21st century.

So. . . pick your poison.

Meggie:

I don’t care if things are recorded. I’m not doing anything wrong.

The trouble with this fatalism is that the American Judicial System routinely incarcerates the innocent, Massachusetts has the second highest rate of wrongful incarceration in the nation. So even if you are not doing anything wrong, you can still be found guilty and go to jail in our inept legal system. [Jesus did nothing wrong either!]
