I was brought up in the country, where conspiracy was the fact of life for decades. And unlike the various stupid theories, I can see on the net, the ones I'm talking about resulted of the loss of millions of innocent lives.
The lesson learned, however, is not that we should look out for a powerful villain who is abusing the power. We should not be afraid of the government officials following the abusive orders. We should look out for our neighbor who will become eyes and ears for the dictator. And it will not be the RFID chip that will allow the control of the populaton. It will be - as usual - newspapers, TV and, in some time, Internet. The ignorance and social conditioning allows for such a level of control, that can't be possibly reached by any technical means.
