Apparently these guys have nothing better to do, than to make us stupid
proposals.



Are you worried that someone is going to implant a microchip in your brain
against your will? If you live in Georgia, your worries will soon be over.

A state House committee approved a measure this week that makes it a
misdemeanor to implant microchips, sensors, transmitters or any other
manner of tracking devices into individuals against their will. The state
Senate has already passed the bill.

State Rep. Ed Seltzer, who sponsored the measure, conceded in testimony
before the Georgia House Judiciary Committee that he had no evidence forced
microchip implantation was occurring on a widespread basis. He said he was
being "proactive," according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"I just think you should have the right to control your own body," state
Rep. Mark L. Cole, who sponsored the Virginia legislation, told The
Washington Post  in February. "My understanding -- I'm not a theologian --
but there's a prophecy in the Bible that says you'll have to receive a
mark, or you can neither buy nor sell things in end times. Some people
think these computer chips might be that mark."
