Whats the arpanet? I don't worry about this to much. We are years and years away from forcing people to wear this snit. Beyond just the costs (what would the goverment be trying to prove by shoving millions of dollars of electronics on you?) you also got to remember that the only true way to watch all this is for people to sit down and phsyicall watch it. That means for everyone that had it for constant survialence you would need one person for each person. OR lets just say they just wanted to keep a more casual but still consant eye on you. Then it would be more like one person could watch 10 people at a time. Or maybe they pour another 15 million into some complex software that just sets off bells whenever you have an illegal ... thought (however they would messure that) then it would still require one person watching per 100 people being watched (to counteract all the false alarms and to spend some time watching people who alarms aren't going off... just in case) What I am saying is it may happen. And it probably will. But I will be dead or atleast really old when it does. These are just new tools for the same old tricks. The goverment could just as easily opress me without them.

He finally beat death in a best 34 out of 67 match. At that time he could ask for any one thing and he could wish for the hope of all mankind... he looked death right in the eye and said ... "I would like about three fiddy"
