This year for our 7th grade district writing essay we had to write whether we would allow a VeriChip to be put inside of us.  These were the versions that include GPS tracking and can hold credit card numbers for contactless purchasing.  The creator of this writing prompt was Mr. Bartosiewicz who won the National US Teacher of the Year Award last year.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Peter Carey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 9:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alzheimer's patients, caregivers receiving VeriMed RFID chips]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/alzheimers-patients-caregivers-receiving-verimed-rfid-chips/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/alzheimers-patients-caregivers-receiving-verimed-rfid-chips/</guid><description><![CDATA[I dislike the whole concept of implanting any sort of tracking device into a human.  I understand that in some situations, it would be wholly acceptable to do so (such as in the context above), but this seems to be an issue discussed in the book of Revelations.  I would never willfully consent to being constantly tracked by any government or organization.  I have a strong negative view on this issue, whatever the benefits may be.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jon Clement]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 9:38PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alzheimer's patients, caregivers receiving VeriMed RFID chips]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/alzheimers-patients-caregivers-receiving-verimed-rfid-chips/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/alzheimers-patients-caregivers-receiving-verimed-rfid-chips/</guid><description><![CDATA[Oh here we go again with the Biblical references.

IF you insist on making such a reference... please, please, please get the name of the book right. It is Revelation. no "S."<br><br>P.S.  I am Christian who does believe said "Biblical Reference" but at the same time, im not silly enough to run and hide when new and more convenient technology comes out.  I will "Run and hide" when they start requiring it to buy bread, until then, SCORE RFID.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Zoundguy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 11th 2007 11:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alzheimer's patients, caregivers receiving VeriMed RFID chips]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/alzheimers-patients-caregivers-receiving-verimed-rfid-chips/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/alzheimers-patients-caregivers-receiving-verimed-rfid-chips/</guid><description><![CDATA[Pardon me, Zoundguy.  You are correct, the book's name is "Revelation."  <br><br>@ Bloobie<br><br>I compare this to people who thought the American Civil War WWI, WWII, the Cold War, and other wars in history were the end of the world.  Unfortunately something will mark the end of our world one day.  Just like one day some technology will replace paper and plastic (i.e. credit cards; countries who have gone to hard plastic instead of paper bills).  Of course RFID tags are weak now, and it is the concept that displeases me.  Look around you, see what is going on: electronics are becoming smaller.. and smaller.. and smaller.  <br><br>@ Elliott<br><br>again, the concept.  "Any sort of tracking device."  <br><br>When electronics replace paper, I won't take an implant.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jon Clement]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 12th 2007 12:05AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alzheimer's patients, caregivers receiving VeriMed RFID chips]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/alzheimers-patients-caregivers-receiving-verimed-rfid-chips/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/11/alzheimers-patients-caregivers-receiving-verimed-rfid-chips/</guid><description><![CDATA[The reasons why these chips are dangerous to the freedom of citizens are real.
