Cashless Society

    We, Canadian or American, will never see a cash replacement like this. In case no one has noticed, our goverment/buisness bloc is not down with the idea, and our (the peoples) political will is not enough to counter that.

    It's strange to see the banner of liberty go back to the French, after so many years.

    Man, I just burnt some Karma, didn't I? It's really not a troll, though.
