Last weekend, a group of libertarians and anarchists gathered in the woods of northern New Hampshire for the annual Porcupine Freedom Festival, aka PorcFest.
I went up for breakfast.

I listened to that.

And, apparently, that if you aren't satisfied, then you still have a gun [and ignore that Big Business can afford more guns, and shooters, than you can]. They are ignoring completely the lessons learned in the 18th & 19th centuries.
I know 29 guys who would offer a different opinion, if they were still alive today.

You only need physical cash if you're doing something that you don't want the gov't following.
