Hi Don, I agree with your assessment of how the Poindexters of the world would like to evolve our information technologies into a total control scheme. Fortunately, civil libertarians aren't about to take this without putting up a heck of a fight. The recent growth in the membership of the ACLU, and the large number of Bill of Rights Defense Committees that are forming across the nation are good indicators of a healthy skepticism about George Bush's Big Brother initiatives. ******* There were a couple of exceptional articles I've noticed on SI today. I think you may find these to offer some good insights into troubling aspects of the Bush Revolution: yuricareport.com stratfor.com

Speaking of dogs that speak.... A guy sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting there. "You talk?" he asks. "Yep," the mutt replies. "So, what's your story?" The mutt looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running. The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired." The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. The owner says, "Ten dollars." The guy says, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him, so cheap?" The owner replies, "He's such a liar. He didn't do any of that shit."

wired.com Nisbet, 34, purchased the chips from a veterinary clinic -- they are commonly used to identify livestock and pets. And after several rejections, she finally found a doctor willing to implant them in her body. (Microchips haven't been approved for human use in either the United States or Canada.) Her chips, which emit a read-only 134-kilohertz frequency that is read by a scanner, contain a 12-digit alphanumeric ID. They were injected into the back of her hands, in the fleshy area between the thumb and index finger; the first was implanted in October 2001, the second in February.
