Is that really the way you want life? Uh... I use a computer for everything, my profession, to chatting on the Internet and at the very least to trade stocks and manage my finances. From plastic to silicon, I'm already living that life you fear. The reason I'm pro "chip" is because I'd hate to see the middle east going full bore with a printing press to finance some holy war, which I'm sure hasn't happened already, right? I am pro privacy, but not to protect criminal activity. Regards Frank P.

already happened with repeal of Glass-Steagall under Clinton admin. One of the pocket picking techniques that kept the bubble going when it needed to target new fuel. Very saddened that happened, just awful for privacy and letting the banker/brokers target the psychological profile of those with uninvested money. Even if the repeal could be repealed, the damage is done as the data has no doubt been burned on many a CD. Privacy lost the battle under the Clinton admin, & data that took decades to build has been exposed. Even under new privacy laws it would probably take decades again to not be under the thumb of the profilers.
