Electronics

A new Obama administration rule requires that medical records be digitalized. Those who don't make the switch by 2015 (when, God willing, someone else will be President), of course, must pay a penalty. You don't comply with socialism, you pay a penalty so the government can use more of your money for more socialism. It's a great gig they've got going.

Of course, many small rural hospitals or small community hospitals can't pay for either the transition to electronic records or the fine for not transitioning to electronic records. So they're pretty much screwed, I guess.

Not to mention the fact that people's personal information is at stake. First of all, hackers, et cetera can steal their Social Security numbers. Second of all, I'm sure that if the government wanted a peek at your personal information, all conveniently digitalized, they could get it. Conspiracy theory? Maybe. Maybe not.

I bet that soon, everything that used to have to be on paper will be digitalized. Take the Constitution, for example. All you'd have to do to change it would be to open a Word document and edit it.

And Obama could easily make a fake birth certificate if it was electronic. Just type out the words, "I was born," and make everyone else make the switch to digital birth certificate. No one would be the wiser!

How about all money has to be electronic, too? The government would be able to get their hands on it a lot more easily if it was electronic, because they could just take it right out of your bank account. No more tax forms, the government just takes the money and you don't have to worry about a thing.

Oh, the possibilities for electronics. It makes sense. I mean, the current administration can't even give a speech without them.
