Filtering Out The Noise

You people are so excitable. I got an email from someone who buys into more 'theories' than I do. The gist is that the new socialist medicine bill requires microchipping everyone starting in 2013. The bill, as pointed out by a commenter to the article, requires tracking things put into people, which it would be Very Bad if they were to fail.

Your new knee will have a serial number, and if it goes kaput, the lot number will help them identify a possibly-bad few dozen replacement knees. They aren't going to slip you a chip next time you go to your doctor.

Relax about things that sound too far-fetched to be true. There are enough REAL threats coming down the pipe to keep you on your toes. Spreading exciting rumors not based (entirely) in fact is just a distraction from the actual problems with which we need to deal.

The mark of the beast is coming, don't get me wrong. Just this ain't it. Probably. Yet. ;)
