I once spent a lot of effort to become an Un-Person, no checking account, no bank account, no.. well.. just about everything and lived that way for many years. My life changed, I bought property, utility bills, got a credit card, and now exist on paper and electrons in quite a few places. I'm starting to wonder how much of a mistake it all was 'existing' again, and am finding myself musing about keeping a much lower profile. For different reasons: identity theft and financial leeching being the biggest, but also in just keeping as much as is practical and legal off the radar screen of our own Government/IRS/FBI/CIA... In my extensive dealings with our government and law enforcement, I have learned to not trust the machine, even when the best intentions of the people involved are honorable.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
