Regarding RFID chips

“Putting RFID chips into people’s arms is, it turns out, not a booming business.”

I would never agree to be implanted with a chip. If more tech jobs require it, I’d go work at MacDonalds. And when MacDonalds requires it too, I will move back to the Greek mountains and plant veggies in the summer and hunt rabbits in the winter in order to live. And if the state requires it for all citizens, I will take my riffle and become a guerrilla fighter until my last breath.

I wasn’t born a Souliot for no reason.

1996 I was in Igoumenitsa (from Ancona/Italy) and we went to Bulgaria (Drama / an archeological excavation). It’s a nice country but you need a stable stomach to bear the ride on these streets in the mountains. And I have no head for heights ;)
Sorry for my offtopic rant, but after I read the Wikipedia entry it was a nice memory :D

You’ll find RFID-chips everywhere in books, shoes (Nike), indentity cards etc. And I do think with the advent of nanobots it’s only a matter of time. Everyone will have one implanted - you’ll just don’t know it.

At least, if these things become mandatory, you are in a good position to ‘procure’ hacked rfids. It would be nice to have a little switch to allow you to choose between 4 or 5 different idenitites :) . Perhaps even more liberating than without RFID tags.

I don’t think so.

McDonald’s sucks, and I doubt you’d find it tolerable. You should just skip that step and head for the hills.


This is the admin speaking...

Back then the Egnatia Odos was not finished, so you had to use the old road. Now, there is multi-lane european-standards highway from Igoumenitsa all the way to Salonika.

I will be interesting to see how this will play out in the US. For once the fanatical Christians may be of some (good)use. Apparently they fear these sorts of things as the Mark of the Beast.

Stick to your guns on this one, Eugenia. I don’t think being a piece of property is a good thing for any human!
