Re: Health care bill calls for tracking implants.

It's what Democrats want. The loss of personal freedoms.

The legislation states that anyone on the government plans at least will be

implanted with tracking chips. Here is a link to information about the implant

itself, straight from the FDA.

I agree with you.

Same here. There are many places I don't feel safe using my card, like convenience stores and small restaurants, etc.

The thing is that if cash is banned, it won't have much affect on crime. People steal cash because they need things. Those things might be drugs, food, or just about anything. If there is no longer cash, they will simply begin stealing stuff they can either use directly or barter for other things. So, raids on convenience stores, groceries, pharmacies, etc., would take place with the object being to steal goods rather than cash. Physical bank robberies might come to an end, but such thefts would only become the domain of hackers and they could make off with far more than a few thousand dollars a real world thief might get.

That would be horrible if they got rid of cash. I ma not buying anything illegal but I don't wan the governemnt tracking how many times I go to taco bell either...
