I agree completely and I think the point made here is glaring and obvious. We must strive to attain true balance. That is, in my humble opinion, the truest persuit of democracy. No one voice above any other but all heard in equality.

But like too many laws, the hard part will be finding the line when both sides seek to move it for their own reasons. Democrats don't typically tend to speak up for less government intervention but they do tend to speak up on rights of privacy. Republicans will most always proclaim the wonder of small government, except when it means giving people the death penalty.

So where do we find the line? Where is the standard?

Well, I guess I'm going to the federal pen now.

NOT ONLY have I gotten 9000 bucks out to avoid paperwork but I have counseled others to do the same.

In one case I drove while my accomplice (er mother) did the transaction.

Somebody bake me a cake with a nail file in it.

I don't see why this is much of a problem. The invisible movement of large sums of cash is what crime needs to survive. Being able to track the movement of large sums is critical to getting the criminals.

On one hand I don't necessarily like the government knowing what's going on with my money, but on the other hand we all fill out a pretty extensive tax return every year...

Just how bad is this form? I've never seen it, so I don't know...

You know, I basically agree with Megan, but....

Rush was doing this to buy illegal drugs, which is exactly what the law was intended for. It's not as if this is some wild stretch.
