Wisconsin's chip law
Wisconsin's Gov. Jim Doyle signed a law that prohibits comanies and government agencies from requiring workers to be implanted with microchips.
For those who read this blog, you know this is huge news to me because I have come out against these chips and their manufacturer, Verichip, as steps toward an Orwellian state.
But bill sponsor Rep. Marlin Schneider, D-Wisconsin Rapids, said the law was needed to stop anyone from being forced to get implants. Schneider said the law makes Wisconsin the first state with such a ban. Violators will face fines of up to $10,000.
The bill "makes Wisconsin the leader among states in control of an insidious technology which could track, monitor and potentially control people's thoughts," Schneider said in a statement.
I applaud Wisconsin as having great foresight. Finally, a legislative body is looking out for the people, not the state.
Folks, this is not some far off future technology. It will be ready tomorrow, and many of you will be faced with it in the workplace sooner than you think.
If we don't fight against the Orwellian state, then what is going to stop it? It is no longer a paranoid nightmare, but a looming presence on the edge of our reality.
