Greetings EEVBees:
--I looked for the AOL article, but I could not find it, so I do not know if there is anything to this. I usually look for a well known source for any interesting development I find. The quotations from the bill in the Snopes are not fleshed out enough to prove the allegations made, in my opinion, and the comments below mention that this is a version of the legislation that was never passed. So this this stuff about the chip refers only to language in a bill that the Democrats tried to pass, not passed, and so, at most represents intentions, not passed legislation. So I will have to brand this one unproven, and false. There are plenty of reasons to object to a complete Government takeover of the Medical Industry, without this one.
--Now, Poptones has said:
1) "F****ing neocons will stop at nothing to instill fear. It's the only way they know to lead."
2) "I f****ing hate Microsoft's software, and more and more I am hating that anyone tolerates this nonsense. This sh** is indoctrinating society into becoming numbers in a vast machine of consumerism. F**k Windows."
--Ah yes, more gibbering spittle flecked hatred instead of reasoned argumentation. Dave and the moderators have no sooner gotten this Blog on an even keel, than a new Troll with more Trollhouse Cookies arises. Poptones has now gone from accusing anyone that points out that UK Wind is performing way below its promised levels, of being Oil Company Shills, to gibbering bite the furniture hatred. He hates Windows. He hates people who "tolerate" Windows, huh. Hatred seem to be a major theme. Now Dave, who provides this Blog free of charge for our enjoyment does not sprinkle his commentary (which is never shy) with profanity, why should anyone else.
Now, Dave has said: "Only if you can afford healthcare, otherwise you'll die early."
--Under the coming plan, even if you can afford healthcare, if the only source of it ,the Government decides, you are not worth the trouble, you will die early as well, and the Government will not refund any money to your family. My guess would be that under "Obamacare" healthcare will be rationed. The statement that "If you like your Doctor, you will be able to keep him [or her, SIC]" has already been proven false. Likewise with the assertions that it will not cover abortion, and that you will be able to keep your present insurance plan. I just do not think that a wholesale takeover of one sixth of the economy is necessary, but it does hasten the day when the World is just one big institution, and we are it inmates.
"I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left. "
