Chip me please



Universal surveillance is the answer. 
.
If my position and actions are tracked at all times.
.
By implants, CCTV and communications with friends.
.
Then it becomes impossible for anybody else to assume my identity.
.
Perhaps it won't be popular.
.
Some of us like to keep secrets and live without surveillance.
.
But in good law abiding civil societies.
.
As the technology becomes more cheaply available.
.
This is a trade-off that ever more of us are likely to seek.
.
Each of us can opt in to being forever tracked. 
.
The return is better emergency response if we are hurt.
.
Better healthcare decisions.
.
Protection from false criminal or civil accusations. 
.
Cheaper prices (and higher living standards) through price discrimination over fixed costs.
.
Knowledge that we are improving science and a far higher protection of our identities.
.
Wait a minute!
.
What sane person believes for one nanosecond that this would not be abused?
.
Can you imagine how this can and will be abused?
.
A society that allows this is gone.
.
Gone as an environment where any semblance of freedom has been swept away.
.
All in the name of safety and security.
.
Seeing how many governments today around the world are corrupt to the nth degree.
.
How many refuse rights to their citizens.
.
How many are riven with evil, greedy amoral people.
.
No way Jose!
.
We are already well on our way to such a situation.
.
The technology is here.
.
Moves are being made to chip criminals.
.
Trials and experiments have been performed on various groups of humans and animals.
.
The rest of us will not be far behind.
.
As I keep saying being a spectator is no longer an option.
.
Not if you have any interest in what is coming at you you don't.
.
Be involved it is your freedom too.
