“Dance, Dance, Dance” The Beach Boys on Shindig.
I support Hall on this effort. Almost all of these laws were designed to initiate Jim Crow harassment of the Negro Community (as it was known then).
These laws are merely excuses for law enforcement to ‘get a guy we know is bad’ and abuse the system for revenge or just to feed a racist desire.

This abolishing cash nonsense has been around since the late 90’s and it really hasn’t gone anywhere. Leave my damn money alone.
I would say from a consumer’s standpoint using cash is a losing game–there’s just no other way to say it.
From a government’s point of view–there’s little reason to keep printing and minting if you can flip the switch on crime, tax avoidance etc etc etc. There’s probably some socio-psychological benefit to keep cash in circulation, I’m sure.
Yeah, like the pesky little reminder printed on each bill saying that this bill is legal for all debts public and private. Ohhhhh, and since Yahoo’s colossal data breach, by alllll means let’s go electronic 100 percent!!! That idea is absurd!!!
You nothing to fear if you’re not doing anything wrong. Am I right?
The ability to track money was used to identify hundreds of dollars of Elliott Spitzer’s hooker money, but was unable to detect Madoff’s billion dollar pyramid scheme until it collapsed on its own accord.
Typical liberal blather. Great job, Dave!
