If taxation without consent is not robbery, then any band of robbers have only to declare themselves a government, and all their robberies are legalized.

I've been sick since Friday morning. Stuffed up, headachy, and miserable. I slept almost all day and night Friday...took the day off work.
Eli wanted to go to the Live Free or Die festival in Jaffrey today. I enjoyed the band, the speakers, the topics. RFID was one that was covered quite extensively. There's a theme park in Europe somewhere that hands out RFID bracelets to all attendants. Throughout the day, the RFID chip in the bracelet triggers cameras that are placed all over the theme park; as you're in line, on rides, buying food, etc, etc. At the end of the day as you walk up to turn in your bracelet, another sensor triggers the computer at the desk which automatically pops up every single picture taken of you and your guests throughout the day for you to purchase.
Pretty cool huh? Until you start thinking about how else this technology might be used... There were more examples. Some not very pretty.
Anyway...I just took two nighttime decongestant tabs. I'm gonna be drifting off soon.
