Should we trade freedom for security?

Question

Do you think everyone should be tagged and processed so we can be safe knowing where everyone is? Would having a tag or chip violate yours or others rights (reguardless of wether someone has something to hide)? Does it go against your religious beliefs? The day will come (unfortunately). Will you be ready?

I would not take any chip or tattoos either, but I believe we will see it soon. It will start with illegal aliens, prisoners, and armed forces. It will come sooner if we don't stop it. Saying you would rather die won't make it so.

Answer 1

Freedom at all costs. No tagging, no chips, no invasive medical procedures. Hell no. What's next? Bar-coding, like the Nazis did?

Having a chip implanted absolutely violates our rights. The Supreme Court has long recognized the right to bodily integrity, and the right of individuals (other than certain felons) to be able to refuse any invasive medical procedure.

To pass that law would require the Supreme Court to rule that the state can subject you to any medical procedure, against your will. That's not going to happen. And if it does... then we haven't traded freedom for security.

We will have had our freedom stolen in the name of tyranny.

Answer 2

We should never trade freedom for security. What good is security if our freedom is compromised? They have already implimented this in some children's schools in the USA. The excuse for this action? Children forget their lunch money. These schools now do not take money from the children, their fingerprints are entered into the database, they are scanned in the lunch line and the children get their lunch. What other information is gathered by doing this, is hard to tell, but it sure scares me.
Not against my religious beliefs, just against my overall belief in civil rights, if they aren't all stripped away.

Answer 3

NOTHING! NOTHING!!! NOTHING!!!!!!! Is worth the cost of our freedom. The idea of the chip is already being tested in some areas, under the disguise of protecting children. It is being installed in volunteer families as a way to locate children if they are missing. The idea is to use families where the children do not fit the demographics of families that have children that go missing, then use the fact that the children have not gone missing to say the technology is a successful method of deterring people from taking children.

This country was supposedly founded on the ideas of freedom and yet...over the last 4 decades, those fredoms have been slowly eroded and replaced by laws that claim to be for our protection but are only a measn to control us. making weapon laws does not prevent weapon crimes, it only makes those that don't have access into victims for thost that do.

As far as religious violations... Among Christians this idea is exactly the sort of thing spoken of in the book of Revelation as the mark of the beast. Among other religions the idea of freedom is so tantamount to their core that these things are unreasonably disgusting. We muct do what ever is necessary to preserve our freedom, after all, "People should not fear their governments, governments shoudl fear their people."

The only way to be safe, is to take matters into your own hands and make yourself safe, learn to to preotect yourself, gather all those things that you need to do so.

I know full well that that day will come. I have been waiting for it, watching the world change and the people become more and more complacent about letting others save them and being far to wiling to give up their freedom to do it. I have watched people become more afraid of the legal repurcussions of protecting themselves than of the lives and safety of themselves or the people they care about.

And as for being prepared, I have been prepared for many years, I already had my paln, a place to go and a list of where to acquire such things as I will need when that time comes. So let it come, I am ready and any who wish to survive are welcome to come with my. The rest can take their chances on their own. But they may find, that survival requires them to do things that they are not prepared to do, no matter how much they think they are. Especially since some of the things required for survival are things that most people wouldn't even think of doing in the first place and thus may not even think of doing at all.

Answer 4

Personally I don't think that tagging or chipping anyone will be an end to any problems. Criminals and people that lie and cheat will always find away around anything. All it will do is take away the rights of people who are trying to live with some sort of morality in their life. Think of how many people died for our freedom, - we shouldn't let go of it so quickly

Answer 5

Every time you use your credit card or shopping card or social security number you are tracked by someone. The merchants keep track of your buying habits, the banks keep track of your cash management and Uncle Keeps track of where you are going. Why fool yourselves. The social security number, drivers license number and credit card numbers all act like homing devices to track you. Unless you only use cash and have none of the above items you are a dot on someones screen. Live with it. Freedoms were lost when computers grew large enough to keep track of everything. You are still free to do most of the things you want but security requires some things be tracked.

Answer 6

tagging everything is what bush is working for, soon there will be a government id wire taping is still part of his plan, bank taping and so on, he wants cams on every block and street Conner and i see Americans letting this happen. bush said in a speach one time that there needs to be limits to freedom.

Answer 7

They will have to kill me first. I do not need to be tagged. As long as we have freedom we can have security. WE have the right to carry and protect ourselves with whatever means necessary. IT IS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION AND IT IS AGAINST MY RELIGIOUS BELIEFS.

Answer 8

In America, we have Freedom And Security.

Answer 9

Those who would trade liberty for safety deserve neither (to paraphrase Ben Franklin.)

Answer 10
