One of the best known and influential figures of the French Revolution.

The idea of trying to control enlightenment.

But what about those who might rationalize that it is to protect them from pain.

In this story, there is a self sufficient community where people live out their entire life.  It was inspired by communities like the Amish.

This is a major plot in this story.

I love dogs.

I had this inspiration several years ago when I saw a company propose manufacturing a chip for children.  It was based on the same chip that they put into dogs.  There was no battery, no power supply, it didn’t transmit a signal like a cell phone, but you could “Scan” the Dog/Child and get information off the chip.

Related is the use of these ankle bracelets they put on people who are on probation.  Basically like strapping your cell phone on, with something to where you can’t remove it, and then having an APP to track this persons every movement.

What if the Dog chips had a power supply and what if we started with all felons and required the chips to be surgically implanted?  (There are many stories that have used this idea, Hunger Games for one so the combatants can be tracked.)

I am going to invent a small cell phone type device that is used only for tracking of children.  It will have GPS and Cell Tower triangulation technology.  It will be a small necklace/pendant (or other jewelry) and my child will be required to wear it.  Or at least my dog.  (He keeps digging under the fence and getting out.  Even though it is a large backyard, he’s well fed, it’s loaded with toys and plenty of trees to mark, he insist on getting out?) 

The internet has made so many changes to our world, people are writing novels in an attempt to describe them.  The internet has had such an impact on society it is somewhere between incredible and indescribable.

At what age should we allow our children free access to this information?

Not long ago I remember the threat, “We are going to send you off to convent”, as a way to try and fix a young person, especially a girl.  Girls who were promiscuous and the parents didn’t approve and wanted a dramatic change in behavior.

The degree of success, after a child becomes “enlightened”, is zero.

With younger and younger access to the internet, which is synonymous with enlightenment, success rates of wanted behavior is zero.

Some argue that early enlightenment has just as many positive effects and advantages.  So the debate will continue.

Thank God there is a choice.

So will women continue to choose to become Nuns even after they test the waters of enlightenment?

Should those in the know, those “Higher Ranking”, choose for others?  Should one be forced to enter a Convent ignorant?
