[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 818617, member: 2189"] Thanks. Might be worth watching for the entertainment value but I'm not into what is called "secret societies". No desire to infiltrate a "Build-A-Burger" meeting. :happy-very: Mostly what becomes public policy is in fact very public if you know where to look and if anything is secret, it's the people proposing them often never disclose their full intent in a transparent way at least at the public sphere level. To discover that, you do have to find out about them and backtrace their associations and connections with think tanks and corp. interests. I find that most all policies have somewhere behind them, a corp beneficary whether a single corp. interest but most often it's more a cartel of an industry using the state to benefit itself. Capitalist socialism at it's best. Some may call all this a "secret society" because it's not well known but it's not that you can't look and find the connections either. Just read a white paper a few weeks ago done by the Federal Reserve on the costs of debit transactions verses cash and how they want to bring that cost down so as to promote the use of debit cards more and the less use of cash. Cash costs about $.07 per transaction while debit cards are $.27 per transaction. Another thing I watch for in the public sphere is what I call political multiplicity and this cashless issue seems to be a growing trend in that direction. Even if this all is a liberal spin job, on a deeper level it is scaring some people back from what they want to do so it's all good anyway! I wonder if we were to backtrace this event in Minnesota, we just might find [URL="http://www.alecwatch.org/"][COLOR=red]ALEC[/COLOR][/URL] involved? :wink2: [/QUOTE]
