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.
