You know what? We can drive ourselves crazy worrying about this kind of
stuff, or just accept it and get on with our lives. The current mindset in
Congress is paranoid in the extreme. They are giving the RIAA carte'
blanche in it's war against music sharers, and they will do the same with
any and all of this kind of intrusive technology.

If you walk into Walmart, you accept their house rules for the time you are
inside.

The best fight against this would be an orchestrated media blitz by some
watchdog organization. Most people don't even have a clue what this is or
why they should resist it. The second best would be thousands of well
written letters to Walmart from consumers, explaining that you will not be
spending any of your money there if this technology is in place.

You can always shop at the local mom and pop outlet, if Walmart hasn't run
them out of business. You'll pay more - lots more.

Actually, the RFID issue doesn't bother me much. I don't think it's much
different than those security tags they've been using for years. I saw the
RFID website before, and for some reason, I remembered enough to look it up
quick.

The RIAA issue bothers me more, the RF interference issue bothers me more,
the feeling I have that voters can be swayed by a barrage of silly
uninformitave campaign advertising bothers me most of all.

There's three Wal-Marts within easy driving distance for me. I doubt I've
been there over a dozen times in the last dozen years. It doesn't appeal to
me, and I have no good explaination. Everybody is too happy. Like the
opening scenes of a Sci-Fi movie.
