letting it happen, and using cash instead of credit, is the smart answer
I'm somewhat surprized at how much of an issue this is. The federal government prints up nice green paper for us to pay for things with. It's annonymous (to a large extent), univerally accepted (most of the time), fairly untracably (unless you really want to), easily available, doesn't collect interest, free to use, etc. No one is forcing anyone to use credit cards, etc.. Then again, being a kid, I have never bought anything with anything other than cash on the spot... -- Tobin Fricke (aka LightRay) The Digital Forest BBS (714)586-6142 dr261@kanga.ins.cwru.edu KE6WHF Amateur Radio, 1:103/925 fido
