Wow. What a stupid comment Maybe you should just sit somewhere and look pretty.

Then again, maybe you can’t.

People who think Orwellian warnings apply to children have no frickin’ clue what parenting actually means.

Digital Angel, don’t be scared

it’s not the “mark of the Beast”. . : )

Yet.

Texas? Really?

San Antonio.

Tbh there are parts of Dallas, Houston, and SA that really are quite leftist. And then there’s Austin.

Still, this is a terrible idea.

Step #1. More likely it is a way of getting people used to the idea of being tracked via RFID.

Do not like, do not want.

THIS

let’s desensitize them by pretending it’s about the safety of their children.

Sounds positively insidious!

MY problem with the system is that by making it impersonal, it becomes impersonal. There might be less connection with teachers and that is value lost(at least with a good teacher so for most public schools that might not apply).

It becomes easier to spoof. Give your friend you ID and you show up as in school. Pass it around during the day to look like you go to classes.

Camels nose.

Lead foil.

Stops alll rfid, gps, and any other transceiving devices. And if you’re really paranoid, you can fashion it into a hat.

And what will the police be doing with all that free time on their hands if they don’t have to do traffic stops any longer? Hard to say, but I’m sure we can come up with something.

Three words:

Donuts. Donuts. Donuts.

(or in the case of some of the oh-so-friendly deputies of a neighboring county around these parts: rape, rape, rape, then donuts, then a slap on the wrist from the oh-so-friendly judge.)

I’m already hostile towards government. Does that mean I should turn myself in, you know . . . . . for the good of the “collective”?

No hurry. I’m sure they’ll come for you when they ‘need’ you.

We’ve already been conditioned to believe we simply have to have a Social Security number for anything of substance we want to do (a lot of it so the IRS can extort us more easily), and that we have to have a photo ID on us at all times…or else we’re obviously hiding something.

We ain’t seen nothing yet. Y’all know that they want to move away from cash altogether and have all financial transactions done electronically. Then there’s the pay-as-you-go transponders that will make every road a toll road.

Of course, companies will be in charge of all this-including collecting fines for speeding, but as long as private companies do these things and not the government, all is well…right?

And what will the police be doing with all that free time on their hands if they don’t have to do traffic stops any longer? Hard to say, but I’m sure we can come up with something.

So yes, it’s really all about the money. No conspiracy theory is needed. If children are missing from school, funding gets reduced. Every time your child doesn’t show up for class, you cost the school district money.

It’s all about the funding.

On the one hand, this is Bexar County/ San Antonio, so doesn’t accurately portray the thinking or ‘state of the state’, if you will – much like Austin doesn’t.

Unfortunately, Bexar County/San Antonio *does* perhaps give us an early look at where the state might be headed as demographics continue to change, etc.

This interesting in that it points out the two distinct brands of liberalism prevalent in each locale.

Those with high hostility probability indexes can be remedially and humanely reoriented from their deviancy by the release of trace amounts of liquid mercury (also implanted)leading to a quick and merciful cessation of activity.
