This is an aspect of our current system that could be leveraged for some pretty overbearing and tyrannical purposes. However, we all go about our lives utilizing banks anyway because these potential abuses do not occur at a level that concerns us. Why would we expect a fully digital system to be any different?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
