This morning while waiting for my car to fill up, I put the time to good use. I read all the hazard warnings.

I couldn’t help but think how much better off we might be if there were similar warning signs posted in stores, restaurants, and malls warning of the hazards of plastic. ATM, debit, and credit cards can be every bit as hazardous to our financial health as fumes and improper handling of gasoline fuel can be to one’s physical health.
