1984 Was Only 20 Years Off

OK more like 21 but that's nit picking. Down in Texas, students are being issued RFID cards to track thier movements on and off the bus. Scary and creepy. Of course in this day and age of Terrorism and the equally scary result of it, The 'Patriot' Act, all sorts of excuses are being made to invade peoples privacy. This technology starts off to 'protect' our children but where will that stop? It starts here folks, but it will only end with you.

EDIT: 'Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both'. Benjamin Franklin.

  2. Need I remind you that 99 out of 100 Senators voted for it in a Democratically controlled Senate? Fear does wonders to the mind.
