So it can stay lost forever. Whats the purpose then?

When I found my cats abandoned in a parking lot, I took them to the vet. The first thing the vet did was scan them for micro chips. The chips would have given the name and address of the owner. Lots of times people find animals, and this is a great way for the humane society to discover their owners.

It just seems like it would be simpler with a GPS tracking type thing in case nobody did find them.

People want to say the technology doesn't exist for this but they said that about the GPS tracking device not too many years ago.
The one Super bowl commercial with the scarecrow was about how they are going to grid 'the infrastructure' It will be used to track people.
Well at least I have this post so that when it happens I can remind you all that I DID say it

I don't know about the validity of this particular thing but I do know I do NOT TRUST BIG BROTHER.
I also know it is out there.
I suspect I know this more because I have been a *RECIPIENT* of the State and when you are.. watch out.
I was burned out of my apt. bldg.years ago had to get state help.. wow
I was waiting for the chip.
Unless you have dealt with the welfare system,you have no clue,they rule you :)

That would see like an Idea but how many people would want to fork over the cost of these little implants especially in the states.

The RFID chips don't cost that much to implant. If one of my parents had Alzheimer's and might run away from home, I would spare no expense to implant a GPS device. Medicare might even pay for something like that.

I agree WG ,there is always a great technology that has the right idea.
Then someone comes along and figures out a way to manipulate it ,usually for money and that is why greed and science create such a potential horror story.
The potential for genetic engineering for GOOD is amazing but we have to stop it because of Franken doctors!

Which brings us back to that universal health care thingy.

Exactly they are trying to find a way to use health care to enforce big brother. One way or another I do believe that in less than 10 yrs it will be mandatory to have some tracking device.
They are using some early census thing to get a better lay out of everything to grid everything.

Oh, NK, you silly man... you think you are immune? You're already stuck in such a system and don't even know it. The Big Brother of the Canadian government already has you by the short-and-curlies. They already OWN you...

Exactly ETW BUT not immune just complacent and compliant to whatever Big Bro has to offer.
