would you be willing to accept the government requiring you to have an ID with a trackable RFID chip in it? (it happens in 08, REAL ID ACT)

No! This is the first step towards the end of life as we know it. Do we really need for everyone to know everything about us? Why do we need the chip, so we can be monitored?
If my drivers license or passport aren't enough to identify me then I do not want to do business with you because I will not give any further information about myself.
People, you may scoff at the Bible but it is 100% accurate in prophacy and is the true Word of God. This "mark" (identifying chip) was fortold. All who receive it will be cast to hell.*
The Bible has the written story of the beginning of time and the end of time. No getting around it, okay. It is the truth

It might happen in time, but I would not feel comfortable with it. In computer age there is so very little privacy left. The chip you are talking about would take our privacy away completely. When a government can trace your every step, the next step would be a thought police of a sort. We should not allow this to happen.

It's too late. The law has been passed. The only thing you can do now is to become involved in politics. Harangue the Democrats to abolish this law along with the other stupid laws the Fascist Neoconservatives put in to suppress your rights. The party is over. It's time for change.

I agree with Sarh. There are those people in our society that need to be tracked. This is a compromise of freedom and the constitution portects us from this. If the government were able to impose this sort of action then that would mean that our reputation for being the world's biggest and best democracy would be a farse...don't EVEN get me started on our deMOCKracy....

I might do it by choice but I would resist being required to do it. It would be convenient to have house key, car key, credit card and dl on it.
Someone will always find a way to track you. How do you know what is in a Pentium Chip? What do you remember about your last trip to the dentist?
Maybe this is one reason why the Repubs lost so bad. They were just too damn casual with not protecting our freedoms.

I dont think it will happen. Remember how upset Americans were when we thougt the NSA was tracking the every day citizens phone calls? No, I think Americans still have some idea of freedom. If not, we should revolt. Thomas Jefferson said "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of tyrants and patriots."

I'm amused by all of you who claim you wouldn't put up with it.
I can assure you that the same refusals and promises of resistance were made when Social Security Numbers were created, amid promises in the enabling act that they would never be used for identification. Those promises were made by the same government that now requires banks and telephone carriers to use them as identification, and the same government that got your great grandparents to agree to the Income Tax Amendment on promises that the tax rates would never go above 4%.
You'll put up with it. You always do.

If I could have the switch to turn it on or off, when I wished, it might be a good idea.
It would stop people from cashing my credit card or forging my checks. It would help locate me if I got lost or became unable to think.
Since I do not intend to become a criminal or cheat on my wife, I have no fear of a micro-chip embedded in the butt, especially since I will be able to turn it of when I wish.

Every U.S. military member, and recently, every U.S. diplomat, already does. You won't be given a choice in this. You'll show up to renew your driver's license, and it will have a chip in it. You want a passport? It'll have a chip in it. What are you going to do, not drive? Drive without a license? Not travel? Starting very soon, you won't be allowed to cross the border into Canada, or take a boat out to the Florida Keys, without a passport.
Oh, there'll be some who resist, and try to get out of it, or go live in a cabin in Montana, but the masses will swallow this like everything else. There'll be a few cranks on the extreme margins of society who'll kick and there'll be a few articles written, but that'll be it. Sorry.
