 Or you could not apply for the card at all.  You overlooked this 
 option.

 Does this mean you've stopped using your credit cards?  Do you use 
 only the local ATM so no one can follow you electronically?  Do you 
 use an EZ-Pass in your car?  Library card?  Gym membership? 
 Metrocard?  You're on the computer rewgularly, aren't you? 
  
 With all these different ways the government can track you, are you 
 really that concerned with who know how much bottled water you buy?

 There is something you can do:  You can stop lying.

 You don't like them lying, but that's what you do on a regular basis. 
 Between lying and insulting others, there's not much else you do do. 
  
 Gimme an 'H'!
