10 ways that we are all being tracked, but especially Dr. Phil
http://www.activistpost.com/2010/07/...ed-traced.html
Example:
RFID -- Forget your credit cards which are meticulously tracked, or the membership cards for things so insignificant as movie rentals which require your SSN. Everyone has Costco, CVS, grocery-chain cards, and a wallet or purse full of many more. RFID "proximity cards" take tracking to a new level in uses ranging from loyalty cards, student ID, physical access, and computer network access. Latest developments include an RFID powder developed by Hitachi, for which the multitude of uses are endless -- perhaps including tracking hard currency so we can't even keep cash undetected. (Also see microchips below).

I'm not really bothered by all of this. I kinda don't care if the government is tracking me. Then again, I've also always been aware that God is tracking me, so the voyeurism isn't uncomfortable.

Yep. If you're not doing anything "wrong" then it doesn't matter.

Another point is that governments around the world aren't the only entities doing the tracking. People generally expect governments to do some tracking. Even that receives some skepticism and requires citizen awareness so it does not impede our rights or go too far. If not for rights and awareness, governments (that consist of people, even if some of them claim to have God on the mainline) would go batshit crazy, as they more blatatantly have throughout history--but this time using more technology and allowing the aliens and zombies to invade (I kid, I kid ).
As for the sarcastic (I hope) comparison between the government tracking and God. I totally disagree with even a sarcastic analogy. My belief in a Higher Power does not preclude me from saying fuck aspects of the government.
