WHAT!?!?!?!??!?!?!


Are you guys kidding me? Eliminate cash? Are you insane?

Sure it provides almost unlimited anonymity, can be used anywhere, and buys you anything, but what about the people who cant get a credit card? What about the people who dont have enough money to keep a bank account active?


For some, its just a better way to do things. And although it is potentially dangerous, its benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.


But back to books.

I think we came to the conclusion that "Big Brother" was a bad idea, and ill just stick with that. I dont want some bored FBI paper-pusher reading up on what books I bought because I "might be a criminal". Doesnt that also trod on innocent until proven guilty?
