In response to the upset of Mr. Barnes over his company requesting him to give in to the Mark of the Beast (see the previous post), this columnist gives his two cents.
The author declares himself an avid avoider of Big Brother and privacy-invading issues, but says that this now unemployed man may have taken it too far. His anger has clouded his better judgement, and maybe he just wants to be difficult. I don't know... but he needs to read this too.
The flaw in Mr Barnes' Mark of the Beast worries is that while he refuses to use a credit card, for the same reason as he wants to keep his fingerprint to himself, he had presumably been happy to use his company's old time-clock to punch himself in and out of work. As I recall, a punch clock uses coded cards, each unique to a user, which is the precursor to credit card barcodes and the technology that reduces the swirls and curls of a fingerprint into a unique combination of numbers. I fear for him that they are all equally marked by the beast.
