I find this type of technology quite frightening and subject to abuse and manipulation.

Because unfortunately history is full of examples how new technologies allow those who suffer what Philip Zimbardo would call the "Lucifer Effect"--which no amount of power and wealth can satisfy, to use those technologies to control us. Think for example of how we are marketed to...mailing lists are compiled of our preferences so that we might be targeted (or propagandized).
I just viewed Ezra Ho's post, and it's a good example of market manipulation which of course is causing major ecological problems on our planet as we continue to become further enslaved by our insatiable needs for material junk.

We are constantly being inundated with such manipulation. By buying into the newest technological means of accessing us, we become further enmeshed into the system which seeks to consolidate the historical thrust for of global control by empire builders which have become more sophisticated in their use of the market place...aka, "the new world order."
I am not a Luddite. I love technology...but we should use discernment and realize that like everything , it is a double edged sword. That which can seemingly free us, can also be used to control us. As J.P. Morgan (the powerful banker) said, "a man has two reasons for doing anything, a good reason and the real reason." Often the "real" reason is that which further ensnares us.

I understand your point of view, but the other side of the coin is this: in my country we have access to the technology but there is a countless number of people there can really use it. Even our electronic government is far a way to be one, because it is only a bunch of pages who doesn't have much relationship with each other. So, we probably are a more better target to the manipulation for the ignorance of the people about the use of the technology. I think is not the use of the technology who is bad, the problem is the responsibility of the people who use it and who control it. That is why we have Laws and why we have to apply then.

Absolutely I agree. Here again, laws have also been a tool of the colonization of our planet. In the west our laws trace their origin to Canon law or church law. It has been my experience, as a student of history, that laws are written by the few to enslave the many--we might especially be aware of this in the proliferation of laws into which we are inundated. Corporations and wealthy individuals have means out of a dependency on law as they may afford lawyers who devise "games" to opt out of any laws which might adversely affect what they'd like to do. (I learned this as I used to do tax research to reduce or eliminate my former employer's tax exposure. I'd complain that we might do such-and-such, but that it was immoral, to which he would exclaim, "yes, but it is legal.") We may think that laws protect us but rather they are often written by the lobbyist and special interests whose intent is to further their own agendas which often have little or nothing to do with morality, sustainability or anything to do with creating a better world or even being remotely fair or equitable.
There is a difference between the various legal systems...canon law, Roman law, Commercial law, maritime law and common law. We mainly live under commercial law which relates more to ownership (as in property) and less to fairness and equity. It's worth understanding the differences of the law systems and how they have been used to cement control.

In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
