If we return to the gold standard, or "cash 'n' carry".. Some of these
issues would alleviate themselves. How many people do you know go around
with less than $10.00 in their wallet and just carry plastic. As a society
we have become dependent plastic items with mag stripes on the back. How
many people go to gas stations that only accept cash ?? How many 7-11's
are starting to question if you open up your wallet and pay for your items
in cash?? But yet, still have the markings on the door to get a possible
or potential assailants height.
Pretty soon, one could be punished for cutting up their credit cards just
as the mattress people warn us not to remove the tag.
