    >> The only reasons to want to maintain cash is if you're a criminal, anti-social mental case, and/or wish to overthrow the government.

    Not true at all. Visa charges what... 4% on purchases? Forget that. Then there is the whole inconvenience thing - drop a 20 on the bar and walk away, that sort of thing. No need for electricity.

    Hell, maybe I just want my perfectly legal purchases to be... PRIVATE?

    There are plenty of reasons to prefer cash that do not involve nefarious dealing.

    The airline example, tragic as it is, is an example of a mistake. Preventable perhaps, but still a mistake.

    The VW example is malice.

    Cannot compare the two.

    yes. the notion that three states would dominate an election without it is silly, and quite frankly who cares? The will of the people is the will of the people.
