    The Question: Am I Charlemagne?Here at ScornCo, we believe that The Children are our future. But what kind of future will The Children be? Will they be the horrible dystopian future we saw in such Paul Verhoven films as Starship Troopers or the bright and shining future we saw in such Paul Verhoven films as Total Recall? The future of tomorrow will depend on what the parents of today do today for our future, The Children. And there's no better way to secure The Children than chipping them at birth. That's the American way!So come along as we establish a powerful new advertising channel and use existing infrastructure to solve the mobile payments dilemma.
