All around the world, doctors have been implanting microchips, made originally for animals, in humans.  For a matter of fact, close to 2,000 Americans have had these chips implanted.  The microchips are used for various things.  They are used for anything from easier access to medical reports to signing into your computer by the wave of your hand.  However, tests from officials showed that they brought tumors and cancer to lab rats and mice. The question is should they really keep implanting them in humans?

In my opinion, go for it.  Studies have showed that it is easier for a rat to get cancer than it is for a human, and what are the odds?  These microchips are out there for an inexpensive price of about $200 a piece, are painless, and look at the convenience they bring.  Yeah it may seem creepy that you have this however many mega pixel gadget in your hand, but it’s made for you and doesn’t affect your body at all!  Think of all the less things you would have to worry about.  No more carrying around a key to your house.   Now, just program your microchip to the lock on your door and all you have to do is wave your hand in front of the lock.  No more remembering passwords for your computer either.  All you have to do is wave your hand in front of your PC and be immediately signed on.  Does this sound like a bad thing?

Another good characteristic of these microchips is that some have been activated with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) scanners.  These devices allow doctors to get all your medical information just by scanning the part of your body where the microchip was implanted.  So, in the case of a medical emergency, you can be taken to any close hospital and the doctors can easily access your medical history.   

Of course there’s another half of this technology other than convenience, and that is cancer. But, think of it this way, you are at a higher risk of cancer so the doctors will check you more regularly. And don’t sources say it is easier to stop cancer when they catch it early on?  Plus, no human has yet been diagnosed with cancer from these microchips.  So why not take the risk, because in the long run, is it really a risk? 

If I had the chance, I would get one of these microchips implanted.  There are so many types that you can use for so many different things.  You can’t go wrong.  They are all for the good in my opinion, and they are FDA approved. (Food and Drug Administration) Though the slight risk of cancer would hang over your head, look at all the other technology out there, just waiting to be used.  So, take the risk, and show these doctors that there is nothing to worry about.            

ATVing in my opinion is a great sport that many people know and enjoy.  So, why don’t we have any place to ride them?  If snowmobiles have a trail, why can’t 4-wheelers?  Living with my parents, who own 2 ATVs, it’s hard to see their almost $10,000 sit in the shed with nowhere to go.  There are trails all around WI for ATVs so why is it different here?  We pay the tax dollars too.  Many people like to say they tear up the trails or make too much noise, but there are ways to prevent that. In Eden, there is an ATV club that is trying to get The Eisenbahn Trail open to ATVs.  All they are asking for, as of right now, is a winter trial on the trail only when the ground is frozen.  At this time, you won’t see any hikers, bikers or even snowmobiles, if there isn’t any snow.  For example, last year was a bad year for winter sports.  There was hardly any snow, and it was really cold.  Those are perfect conditions for 4-wheeling, but we weren’t aloud on them!  They spent all that money in grooming the trail when no one was even using them.  This isn’t fair!  Plus, the Eden Area Trailrunners have about 40% of their members trained for Trail Patrol, have taught a few hundred kids at the ATV safety class, and have volunteered their time at many public events.  In my opinion, this sounds like a great group that is just trying to get a trail, and I know that if they don’t get it this year, there is nothing stopping them from trying again next year.  I love 4-wheeling and would just like to get out onto a trail and enjoy a good ride!
