Getting rid of cash seems so inevitable to me. All kinds of shady transactions (drugs, robberies, terrorism, tax evasion) would be made much more difficult. I hardly ever use cash anymore, as even fast food places take my visa debit card now.

Yes, and it will allow government to track your every move.  No thanks.
And the government doesn't already do that now?

The government doesn't know where I spend my cash.  Debit cards are much more easy to track.

Just out of curiousity, what purchases are you hiding from the gov't? I really don't think George Bush cares about your porn collection

Why do you assume that most cash transactions are shady? Cash is a way of making sure the government and credit card companies can't track our every purchase and compile data on us. Its great that you don't do anything illegal, but thats not the point. Its a civil liberties issue. The large majority of people who use cash have done nothing wrong. Its elitist to assume otherwise.
