Why? Do you work for a credit card company?

Maybe they are in New Yuk City, or LA, where you can't trust anyone, but 95% 
of the places here in Colorado still take mine, most without even asking for 
ID.

Heinlein ( who was either a libertarian or anarchist, I'm not sure ) used to 
say that it was time to move on from a place when they started requiring ID. 
Maybe this is just a sign that the Denver area is getting so authoritarian 
and overpopulated that it's time to move on to a more free place. When I 
first moved out here in 1979 from south Florida, I loved how people use to 
look you in the eye and smile when you passed them on the street, not like 
back there. Now it's changing. Must be the signs of the big overpopulated 
city.

Big Brother is here, and somehow I don't quite believe that you're sorry to 
have to be the one to tell me.

We'd actually rather avoid credit cards, as they're traps. We get bombarded 
by "buy now, pay later" ads, that make "later" sound like never. We're 
constantly encouraged to spend beyond our means until some of us get in 
trouble with it, then of course the card companies still want to be paid or 
else. No thanks. We have 3 cards and the goal is to keep them paid off each 
month. To do that, it would be necessary not to use them for the everyday 
spending of life. Too much of a trap.
