> Small point of history, Germany WAS a democracy, and the Nazi were voted into power. After they were ELECTED
---
Not exactly: The Weimar Republic was a "Parliamentary Democracy." The NSDAP suborned the due process of the not-all-that-functional system and took over the government at the top level; they only had a low-thirty-percentage of the parliamentary seats, but there were some dirty deals struck with President Hindenburg and his cronies that gave the NSDAP power far beyond its representation. Then they used their power to shut down the Republic government and ruled in its stead.

On to microchips, even assuming the Fed manages to come up with some kind of un-hackable, un-copyable chip (and I have a nice bridge for sale...), anything a surgeon can put in, another surgeon can remove. Since by definition the chip would be your identity, swapping chips would make you someone else. There was a movie called "Gattaca" that addressed a similar concept... what's a clean identity worth?
