I've got a very bad feeling about this whole deal.

It sounds much to similar to the claims that a One World Government will soon be formed, and that all of life will be controlled by electronic computer chips and other security features. As far out as that sounds, the U.S. has already entered into a partnership with Mexico and Canada to open borders and basically do away with our Constitution as we know it. And that's being called Security and Prosperity Partnership, but those of us who have examined the evidence for what it really is know it as The North American Union. There is even a new currency created - the Amero.

I'm not saying that I believe all of this fully, especially because it's so often associated with radical leftist movements (which I sympathize with after previous identification). But I do believe fully that there is a danger in giving government and corporations too much control over the everyday lives of people. All of these new-fangled security and convenience ideas sounds a lot like Big Brother to me.

At the very least, keep in mind that it's a city built by corporations, so it will be inherently consumerist and materialistic.
