did you get that idea from Barry Smith?
i remember when he came to our church...
everybody loves a conspiracy ;-)

that being said... given the amount of credit card fraud etc etc etc wouldn't a little microchip under the skin make a great deal of sense? i'm not sure whether it will happen... mostly because of human rights groups etc. but it does make sense. personally i think forehead is more likely than right arm for the reason that you can lose an arm and still be fairly much okay. lose your forehead on the other hand (har de har har) and losing your microchip will be the least of your problems ;-)
