There was plenty the Missouri legislature didn't get done this past session, but thank goodness they passed the microchip bill!  Whew!

Yes, assuming the governor decides to sign this landmark piece of legislation, it will be illegal for your boss to make you have a microchip injected into your body.  Well, thank God for that! 

This law has actually been pushed successfully in a number of states by a group called AntiChips.com.  (They are reportedly opposed to Pringles as well.)

I understand the technology already exists.  You can get your dog injected this afternoon with a chip containing contact information if you like.  There is even a company that is licensed for human microchip implants in this country.

But do we really  need to make something illegal before it's even proposed?  Don't our lawmakers have anything better to do? 

If we're looking that far ahead, I have a few proposals for next year's session.

-A law banning the use of flying cars in airspace within 100 feet of a playground.

-A law requiring residents of the moon to pay a special moon-dust cleanup tax when they visit Missouri.

-A law forbidding the use of time travel machines to find out results of lotteries and sporting events conducted in the state of Missouri. 

-A law requiring all cars in Missouri be powered by cold fusion as soon as the technology is available.

Do you have any other suggestions?  We really need to be thinking ahead here!  Otherwise we could have extra-terrestrials driving down the rebuilt Highway 40 without a local license.  (Quick, add that one to the list!)
