[ale] Off topic - tin foil not needed in Georgia?

[Lightner, Jeff]

Of course you're assuming she does NOT have an implant and there's no
way for you to be sure unless you do the scan yourself.   Just because
you're paranoid doesn't mean no one is out to get you.   

 

That reminds me of a comedian who said that people that go around the
streets having imaginary conversations are actually talking to each
other because they have supersensitive hearing.   To the rest of us it
appears they're just talking to thin air.  :-)

 

I wonder how long it will be before someone suggests Roy attacked the
legislation because he intends to implant us all if he gets re-elected?
Not too far fetched given the "death panels" rhetoric over Obamacare.
Not that it matters - I think Roy made a tactical error in the ad - he
lumped in anti-stem cell research legislation with this and I think
there's enough conservatives that support that prohibition to make the
ad backfire on him.

You should have seen the person presented as a victim/witness of this. I
have _NO_ intent to be cruel or insult people with mental health issues
but the congress critter who brought this poor woman up to testify did
not do much screening of her as a valuable aid to his cause. She
presented herself as a serious "voices in the head" person.

Thus the "laughing-stock" status of Georgia was once again strengthened.

On the otherside of this is the potential to do chip implants for the
sex-crime convicts after they serve there term as a means of tracking
them at all times.

No matter how I look at this, my skin crawls.

While I agree with many in that forum that this probably wasn't the best
use of Legislature time I don't agree that this is only "science
fiction".   It really wouldn't be that hard to do such implants in a
person that was under general anesthesia for some other surgery.   Of
course having all the doctors complicit in something that didn't earn
them money seems unlikely.   

 

Proactive legislation isn't really new.  There are several states that
have outlawed use of DNA as a screening tool for insurance or jobs.  Of
course the movie Gattaca suggests there would be ways to avoid strict
adherence to such laws.
