It can also be found round the ankles of criminals on early release from congested prisons who can be monitored to ensure their curfew isn't broken.

Nice to see that they managed to fit that in with the article!

The Totalitarian Tip-Toe in full swing!

I just can't wait to be microchipped! Just think how good it will be!

Once again we see schools and colleges being targeted. Someone must have actually instituted a deliberate policy of "get 'em while they're young so they'll be putty in our hands as adults!"

Arrogant educationalists have often fallen into that trap, of believing that education is a means of indoctrination. Ignatius Loyola (the Saint Loyola, no less!!!) and founder of the Jesuit order, said "give me a child at 7 and he is mine for life" or words to that effect.
He also said:
"We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides”
"Lord Jesus Christ, take away my freedom, my memory, my understanding, and my will."
So education, for such a mind-set, means accepting that what you know is white, is black, and forgetting that you ever knew the truth once.

And they value freedom and discovery least of all, not even the freedom to make one's own mistakes. Such a view leads directly to the imposition of collective rules. They will never understand that to grow, one has to be free to discover. Some in the educational community who have tried to expand the notion of learning to include facilitation and other kinds of interchange, will often be the first to insist that there is only one "right" answer, just as those who proclaim freedom of trade will insist that we don't have any right to chose how we spend beyond the ways programmed in to the system by them. Somehow these contradictions seem acceptable to them. I feel it's another case of right- and left- hemisphere manipulation (see my other threads). Underneath it there is only one thing - manipulation.
However, as a new ethical consciousness arises, that view will be exposed.
