Are you worried that the government will implant a microchip into your body without your consent? If so, the state Senate has your back.
From the Associated Press:
State senators are moving to protect Georgians from being implanted with a microchip without their permission.
The Senate voted 47-2 on Thursday to approve a bill banning the practice without consent. Doing so would be a misdemeanor considered assault and battery.
Even with permission, implantation could only be performed by a doctor. Anyone who has a microchip implanted without their permission would be entitled to sue for damages.
Sen. Chip Pearson, who sponsored the bill, says it’s a proactive measure aimed at anticipating technological advances that may infringe on people’s rights. Sen. Vincent Fort, one of the two senators who opposed the bill, says it’s a “solution in search of a problem” and a waste of time during the state’s budget crisis.
Thank goodness that this can never happen in Georgia:

The problem is that for most
The problem is that for most of the folks in the Senate it's already too late. They are being controlled by aliens from the planet Idiot.
I support the Senate
We did a post on this a few weeks ago. http://galiberal.com/?p=7218
This is to keep people on probation/parole from having a microchip implanted into them. I fully agree with the senate bill and assuming it does not have any craziness attached to it, I hope it passes:
Even Pearson admits that no
Even Pearson admits that no one is trying to forcibly implant microchips in people without permission. So what possible reason to do this could there be, other than craziness?
Future
To prohibit them from doing it in the future.
Flunks the 5 way test
If flunks the House members' five way test by interfering with a parent's right to take their teenager to the vet, and get him or her chipped.
Who is "them"? Anyway, I'm
Who is "them"? Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's already illegal to implant something in someone's body without their permission. Sounds like assault to me.
I don't want anyone to shoot
I don't want anyone to shoot me with a shrink ray, so let's ban that too, in case someone invents it one day.
what about a freeze ray?? I
what about a freeze ray?? I mean Dr. Horrible is almost done with his!!
Clearly we need a law to
Clearly we need a law to address this.
I can't believe there isn't
I can't believe there isn't one already!!!
Dear Sen. Pearson,
I read on the Internets that the blood-drinking, shape-shifting reptilian alien Masons and Rockefellers who secretly run the world are secretly developing a freeze ray. Alex Jones told me it's true. Please do something to stop this. I do not want to be frozen against my will, unless it's in carbonite like Han Solo. That would be awesome.
Sincerely,

It could be you and the Splendid Splinter
So is what you are saying is that you wouldn't relish being thawed out down the road with Ted Williams.
Great ballplayer, but wasn't
Great ballplayer, but wasn't he supposed to be kind of a d!(k? Also, I think his kids just froze his head.
Sometimes, you can be anything you want to be ----
When you have the sweetest swing in the history of baseball, you can be a dick.
He batted .400, couldn't spell steroid, and served his country in two wars.
Let's see anyone in baseball in the last 40 years match that.
His entire body was frozen, there seems to be some unsubstantiated discussion reference damage to his head.
I thought being a dick and
I thought being a dick and being an athlete kinda went hand in hand.
Leet me make a call
and see if I can get Suzanne Yoculan to get back to you about that.
We're getting way off topic here
Unless Ted Williams has a microchip implanted in his frozen junk.
i smell armageddon wackos

And yet everyone who carries a cell phone with them all the time or drives a car with GPS volunteers to be tracked by *someone* (corporate someones with no reason to deny subpoenas) at all times.
One day we'll show those jocks.
Seriously AM. You have a promising career in writing 80's high school films.
People who cheat on their
People who cheat on their wives (Tiger Woods, Kobe Bryant, etc.) or hurt animals (Michael Vick) are jackasses in my book.
It's for the children.....
I guess we SHOULD admire the Hollywood types like Michael Jackson and Roman Polanski who do so much for the children.
I didn't understand the
I didn't understand the whole "we should mourn Michael Jackson" thing when he died. You wouldn't mourn any other child molester who died, would you? But I didn't grow up with his music. My dad didn't let me listen to '80s (or current popular) music when I was a kid. I grew up listening to him singing Oldies :)
Oh, so you mean John Edwards.
If you add beat their wives and/or children you might be able to include a lot of Hollywood in there too.
I did say people, so unless
I did say people, so unless Hollywood people are these androids Blake was talking about I suppose they would be included, too.
Sounds like somebody got locked in their locker.
Nope. You suggested that being an athlete somehow makes one more predisposed to being a jackass. Ghost and I are simply pointing out that jackasses are not limited to jocks.
I'm just saying what we're all thinking.
Any reason you choose all black men? I mean, you could have said Chipper.
