I am not sure if this belongs in Paranoia, feel free to move it if you see fit.

OK, so I am not the most religious of people, but the idea of having a microchip implanted in my arm strikes me as a bit strange.

Beastly

For some reason this really strikes me as a bit strange and a even a bit apocalyptic...It smacks of the "Mark of the Beast" which all of us who were raised a Suthern Baptis's were taught to avoid like the plague. (which, apparently might be on its way too

)

At the very least, it seems like a damn good way for the government to keep tabs on everyone...just add in a small GPS device and you are well on your way to an Orwellian nightmare.

Am I just being paranoid?

Is this the beginning of the end?

Most importantly: Will I be able to pay for my beers with my arm?

(seriously though...I would never allow a microchip to be implanted in me or anyone else I care about.)
