[Jeffersons Ghost]

51. many who work at DHS post at DU and it's easy to find out who they are

Just start a thread saying you're a 14 year-old girl who is turned on by James Bond movies or spies in general and they'll send some VERY revealing PMs to you.

[MountainLaurel]

57. Snort!

:rofl:

[Jeffersons Ghost]

62. I'm not kidding! I once wrote, I liked spy movies and they went after me..

and I'm a man! Once they found out how old I was they weren't interested, though. They like um young.

[AnnInLa]

8. If Chertoff is a DUer, then I'm Barbara Bush

eeewwwwwww! Our Lehrer is delayed, so I'll watch...thanks for the heads-up!

[Jeffersons Ghost]

15. damn I should have guessed it BARBARA BUSH IS A LURKING DU FREEPER

I can't believe you've gotten away with it for so long! AnaInLa indeed.

[Sanity Claws]

I've got first dibs on him. Everyone else can just get in line.

[hippiechick]

11. His wife is a Du'er, too ...

[Sanity Claws]

12. Ooops!

Sounds like I better get on line.

[Deb]

19. He's yours?

Intelligent and articulate. (with the bonus of sweet brown eyes) :applause: You should be proud, he did a fantastic job. DU has the most amazing members.

[Kurovski]

13. ALL DUers are handsome and/or beautiful...

especially me.

[Sanity Claws]

16. Oooh, feel free to PM me.

But only if you're not taken. ;)

[Kurovski]

17. I'm taken...

Narcissists are self-sufficient!

Seriously though, I've never dated a girl/woman in my life...if you know what I mean. ;-)

[Cha]

24. LOL!

Yeah, we're "self-sufficient"!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

38. If you were to jump the fence, you'd pick me right?

Though KevinJ and I have had discussions on the concept of polyamory, it's a little too early to incorporate its practice into our marriage.

:hi:

[primavera]

26. Drat, you never let me have any fun!

And DU women are so hot, too... :9

[MountainLaurel]

32. We can discuss it after the LSATs

I bet Molly and Dylan would love having a third person to beg food and scritches from. But if we're getting a girlfriend, she has to like cats.

:evilgrin:

[blm]

We love their politics. Really. ;))))

[Kahuna]

[primavera]

20. I'm just happy I didn't throw up!

I've never done live television before and was so nervous, I could barely remember my name. Thanks for the vote of confidence! :hi:

[PA Democrat]

23. Darn. I missed it. What was the topic of the discussion?

[primavera]

25. EEVS, i.e., Electronic Eligibility Verification System, i.e...

... the government's database for employers to check whether prospective employees are lawfully present and work authorized. Both the House and Senate bills currently under consideration contain provisions for replacing the current I-9 process with manditory usage of this external verification database. One step closer to a "Your papers, please!" society, but, alas, people are so up in arms about illegal immigration, they're willing to break a lot of eggs to make this omelette.

[lonestarnot]

27. Chip implants line..... neeeeext.

[primavera]

28. Give us time...

... we're moving closer to that eventuality every day.

[MountainLaurel]

31. Guess you saw this article, then?

http://www.livescience.com/scienceoffiction/060531_rfid_chips.html



Scott Silverman, Chairman of the Board of VeriChip Corporation, has proposed implanting the company's RFID tracking tags in immigrant and guest workers. He made the statement on national television earlier this week.

Silverman was being interviewed on "Fox & Friends." Responding to the Bush administration's call to know "who is in our country and why they are here," he proposed using VeriChip RFID implants to register workers at the border, and then verify their identities in the workplace. He added, "We have talked to many people in Washington about using it...."

The VeriChip is a very small Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag about the size of a large grain of rice. It can be injected directly into the body; a special coating on the casing helps the VeriChip bond with living tissue and stay in place. A special RFID reader broadcasts a signal, and the antenna in the VeriChip draws power from the signal and sends its data. The VeriChip is a passive RFID tag; since it does not require a battery, it has a virtually unlimited life span.

RFID tags have long been used to identify animals in a variety of settings; livestock, laboratory animals and pets have been "chipped" for decades. Privacy advocates have long expressed concerns about this technology being used in human beings.

34. ommfg

Have you made this a separate post?? I haven't seen it, but have been otherwise busy today. Kind of shuts up all the people who said this could never happen. This is pretty damned close.

[MountainLaurel]

43. A thread about it exists

59. Wisconsin bans RFID tags recently

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 31, 2006


WISCONSIN BANS FORCED HUMAN RFID CHIPPING
Groundbreaking Law Spotlights Opposition to VeriChip


Civil libertarians cheered yesterday upon news that Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle signed a law making it a crime to require an individual to be implanted with a microchip. Activists and authors Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre joined the celebration, predicting this move will spell trouble for the VeriChip Corporation, maker of the VeriChip human microchip implant.


The VeriChip is a glass encapsulated Radio Frequency Identification tag that is injected into the flesh to uniquely number and identify people. The tag can be read silently and invisibly by radio waves from up to a foot or more away, right through clothing. The highly controversial device is also being marketed as a way to access secure areas, link to medical records, and serve as a payment device when associated with a credit card.


"We're not even aware of anyone attempting to forcibly implant microchips into people," says Albrecht. "That lawmakers felt this legislation was necessary indicates a growing concern that the company's product could pose a serious threat to the public down the road."


Although the company emphasizes that its chip is strictly voluntary, recent statements suggest this could easily change. VeriChip Chairman of the Board Scott Silverman has been promoting the VeriChip as a partial solution to immigration concerns, proposing it as a way to register guest workers, verify their identities as they cross the border, and "be used for enforcement purposes at the employer level." He told interviewers on the Fox News Channel that the company has "talked to many people in Washington about using it."

Usually we're such bubble-heads.

I can't even tell that you feel like barfing from nerves. :-)

[primavera]

45. Lol! Thanks!

I just watched the videoclip online and was alarmed by all of the "ums" and stutters, and I notice I kept glancing up because the monitor was on the ceiling, so I had this sort of weird shifty look, but, wtf, I survived the ordeal and I didn't do a Bush Snr, that's the main thing, so I'm happy.

[robinlynne]
