I think the words of Sam Adams ring more true now than ever before.

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

I’m confused as to how this quote connects to the story you linked. Were the microchips not voluntarily excepted by officials from a private organization?
