Wal-mart has announced that they will be installing RFID chips (Radio Frequency Identification) chips supposedly to catalog inventory, sales, theft and supply and demand.  The alarming aspect of this announcement is that this RFID chip removable yes, can not be turned off.  In turn this will create privacy issues, such as tracking individuals into their homes, work places, private settings etc.  Add the fact that in time other large corporations will undertake this program as well , some may even go further by installing these RFID chips without informing the consumer allowing absolute invasion of privacy.  A sneaky method it monitoring the public.

This is crazy...  I hope this is just a far fetched idea that will never be implemented.  Can you imagine stores being able to track everything we do?  I will boycott any company that uses this technology.

What a crazy idea. I'm surprised more towns and cities don't work harder to keep out large corporations which wreak havoc on them. They don't pass ordinances keeping them out. They don't have super-high taxes to keep them from coming in. Mayors and City councils don't protest hard enough. The corporations like Wal-mart, Mcdonald's, etc. then end up pushing small business out of business. It keeps local people from having wealth and usually the money that small businesses make stays in the community while corporations take their money and don't spend in the local area. Why conservatives are so anti-small business and pro-corporation is beyond me. A corporation that outsources and doesn't pay its share of taxes isn't patriotic.
