To David Thompson at 6:31am, you bet I like to carry around $100 or $200 with me all the time, and not to buy anything illegal. While I’m sure I could live on my debit and credit cards exclusively, I like having a better sense of how much money I’m spending and I still think service providers (waitstaff in diners, cab drivers, etc.) prefer cash tips. Also, to tell the truth, I don’t want Visa knowing exactly where I went yesterday, or how many coffees or beers I drank, or what books or medicine I bought. Again, not that I’m doing anything illegal (or even embarrassing), but data mining technology is so good that a little anonymity in this world isn’t a bad thing if you desire any privacy.
