Sounds like Microsoft. No, really. I'm dead serious.

Like it or not, people have to use Mickeysoft crap sooner or later. Want to
read that document? Read that email? Run that program? Purchase things
(software which runs)? It's garbage. I know it's garbage. Many of us here 
know it's garbage. But we have to use it anyway. Compare this to the 
smartcard as proposed like this:

I know it's garbage. Many of us here know it's garbage. But we have to use
it anyway. Want to read that document? Read that email? Access that computer
system? Drive your car? Get in your house? Get through a toll booth? Enter
or leave the country? Better make sure your papers are in order.

The high-tech American Leviathan is already in place. The problem is that
it'll just get worse because the sheeple are, by definition, naked, stupid,
and blind.

This is, well what can I say but, BULL.

This is the typical line one gets from the sheeple, "I don't like MS but I
am *forced* to use it", or "I don't like Credit Cards but I can't live
without them".

Life sucks deal with it. You have two choices: either use it or don't but
quit your whining.

I will not use a dumbcard today, tomorrow, or ever (I have never owned a
CC).

The herd will always be the herd but if you follow along are you really
any different?
