Evidently Salvation Army bell-ringers in Arizona can now take donations by credit card. They’ve got little machines with them they can use to ring you up.

Thank god. I’m waiting for the day that I can not feel stupid/guilty for using a card to buy a soda.
Of course, with the tracability of the whole thing, you’d think I’d be one of the last to want to go to a paperless money society….but I’ll be damned if I don’t hate carrying cash. :)

What would our incentive be to go to work if we never saw anything that we could manipulate that was of value? I think we need money in some form, if nothing else than for teaching Lenny the value of work. He will never appreciate you if he never sees the connection between hard work and his fish sticks. Humans are concrete critters, no matter how techie we become. Viva la cash!!!
