human=number

The idea of implanting RFID's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RFID in to people scares me.
Why? Well for one thing it's your very own built in barcode. It's so impersonal isn't it? you're reduced to a number and no longer a person, you're a statistic, not a living being with feelings and dreams, you're a thing, a cog in a machine. Gods help you if you're the wrong shaped cog.
I can't believe how brainwashed someone must be to want one of those, it's amazing how the media is used huh?

Wooo look how cool I am, I can pay for my shopping so easy!
But these things aren't safe, they can be hacked "Germany-based RFID expert, Lukas Grunwald made a shocking revelation that the loopholes in the RFID passports could enable hackers to capture and replica the fingerprint image stored on the biometric e-passport."
Has there been anything in our history that hasn't been broken in to or hacked? safes? computers? codes? So who else will be walking in to stores and buying things so easy with your barcode?
I'm sorry if I've sounded overly cynical about all this but really.
We've got to learn to say 'NO!' to these things.

NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!....ouch that's gotta hurt o.o
