I'm trying to rectify my personal feelings towards that statement, "An enlightened zombie with a plan". Let me give you some context: Today I was accused of being an "Obama Zombie" by an anti-Obama activist, in reference to my RFID implants.

While this made me laugh hysterically, I replied back nicely, providing my point of view on the technology. I certainly do not think RFID chips are secure, safe, or should be tied in any way to anyone's personal information. I do not believe the government is planning to use RFID as a tracking technology -- not because it couldn't be, but only because they already can track us. Personally, I carry two GPS enabled cell-phones, tied to my personal information, and almost never use cash which means my every financial transaction is recorded. The government does not need to build any more infrastructure to track its citizens... they already can. However, I have joked several times that, when it comes time, I'll remove my implants and go underground knowing more than most people about the technology... joked in the morbid sense that it's a plausible, though unlikely, scenario.

In any event, the final tweet in the conversation is duplicated here, for your enjoyment (link to actual tweet):

So now I'm stuck trying to rectify my political views, which can loosely be described as "left", against being an "Obama Zombie". A blind, mindless, braaaaaaaains-eating follower I am not! Sure, I voted for the man. Do I agree with his every move? Of course not. Do I object strongly to many of them? Not really. I guess I'm conflicted... but will say I'm glad he's doing something... even if in the end it may not be the right thing. I don't have the answers - but I know that no decisions would ever be made if the President wasn't the kind of person willing to make them. Not everyone is going to be happy with any one decision, but noone would be happy with no decisions. And that's all I've got to say about that.
