Saw
this article on BBC News, and thought I should post it.
Basically as I see it, the notion that America is has become
/ rapidly becoming a Corporate
/ Fascist state, is no longer a /. troll.
I think a good point to bring up, about making small time transactions, is that you should pay in cash* and not keep the receipts. (Think books, pay tolls, etc).
*Of course paper money is trackable now and will only become more so in the future. Plus it will probably be abolished all together in favor for
SS/Passport/CC (unified) card or such.
P.S. Speaking of books... try "Why Bother?: Getting a Life in a Locked-Down Land" by Sam Smith
