Government for the people and by the people. That is the original concept. However, concepts and reality never seem to match. In America today, we are continually allowing the Government to direct our lives.

No matter which party you choose, both are out to monitor, direct, and supervise our lives. The Republican's want everyone to shut up and do what they are told. The Democrats want to give everybody, no matter their legal status a free ride for the taxpayers to foot the bill, yet again. All the while, they are using and abusing the population to the max.

The entire government spouts freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and numerous other types of freedoms. The reality is, the more freedoms they talk about, the more they take away. All under the guise of doing what is best for America. Homeland Security, new laws to protect us, and many more ideas of good intent. How much has Homeland Security cost? How much abuse was allowed? How many so called, "Local Governments" gotten their fair share, but are at the lowest risk levels for any type of problems?

The chip will carry all of your valuable information, such as medical, financial and so forth. My question would be, What about the poor people? You are connected to government in some form. If you collect Social Security, you can be implanted with the chip. Welfare the same thing. So government will have it's way.

The lost lives, the wasted money, and everything that has happened since was handled by a Government that was concerned with all of the wrong things. The People suffered because of it.

Over the years, since the Revolution, and lack of proper education, people have forgotten why America fought in the 1700's. They don't know what it was like under the British Rule. Now we are once again in the clutches of government control. All for our own good of course. We stand by and say Yes Sir and take any kind of screwing they decide to give us. We don't want to be ostracized, so we shut
