 information given.

 Cash only. CC's are for emergencies and fools. 
  
 > Do you use only the local ATM so no one can follow you electronically? 
  
 Yes. I am a good fiscal planner. It pains me to watch whiners on TV complain 
 about ATM fees when they use on twenty times a week. 
  
 > Do you use an EZ-Pass in your car? 
  
 No. 
  
 > Library card? 
  
 Yes. And THANK YOU to those libaries who JUST SAID NO to AssKKKroft 
 when he asked for info on readers. 
  
 > Gym membership? 
  
 Got a full gym in my basement. Feel free to come over anytime. 
  
 > Metrocard? 
  
 Metrocards are bough anonymously (for now) I NEVER use the machine 
 to buy one.

 The "Hom*Brew" is beginning to hit you, eh? "rewgularly"

 I am concerned about who shares my information without my knowledge. 
  
 I do not want more "offers" and "targeted merchandising" in my mailbox.

 "We should not march into Baghdad. To occupy Iraq would 
 instantly shatter our coalition, turning the whole Arab 
 world against us and make a broken tyrant into a latter- 
 day Arab hero. Assigning young soldiers to a fruitless 
 hunt for a securely entrenched dictator and condemning 
 them to fight in what would be an unwinable urban guerilla 
 war, it could only plunge that part of the world into ever 
 greater instability."
