It's bad enough the government can track you everywhere you go if you own a cellphone (and who doesn't in this day and age) or have a GPS, or OnStar. Red light cameras, face recognition software, Carnivore and it's newer clones listening in on your phone conversations and monitoring your emails. Yeah, 1984 is here and long gone. Big Brother is definetely watching. Ever actually seen your credit report? It's scary.
But Winn-Dixie piled on the last straw today. I was told my Winn-Dixie card would no longer work after 12/31/09. I needed to go to the customer service desk and have my drivers license swiped to get the new card. EXCUSE ME??? Sorry W-D, you just lost another customer to Wal-Mart.
Where does all this end? Well, let's see. I can envision the bureaucrats that will be running our new federal healthcare system (or even the current private companies) basing rates on how much unhealty food you eat, for one thing. I suppose the final end of all this will be the mark of the beast.
God bless,
Dumb Farmer (who doesn't think my grocery store needs to know everything but my Soc. Sec. # to sell me food)
