“ ACLU Diehards (political paranoids) & Right-Wing Christians (anti-science religious kooks) “

For KXYL’s Connie & James (aka: The ACLU Bashers)

“ In that event, the only thing standing between Big Brother and the rest of us will be the ACLU diehards and right-wing Christians who have a fundamental conviction that to accept the ID chip would mean submission to the Antichrist. And when that day comes, you can expect the establishment to marginalize them all as anti-science religious kooks and political paranoids whose intransigence endangers us all. ”

"Holy Hal Lindsey!" I said to my wife over the morning paper last week. No matter how far away I get from that 1970s summer that I spent obsessed with The Late Great Planet Earth, some stories never fail to send a chill down my spine.
The paper reported Food and Drug Administration approval for human use of the VeriChip, a microchip injected under one's skin. This version sends out a radio signal allowing doctors access to your medical history. Even The New York Times grasped the pop-culture ramifications of this development, noting that "some fundamentalist religious groups ... contend that the tags may be the 'mark of the beast' referred to in the Book of Revelation."
