Yet we still don't address the MAIN problem with [credit] cards [at least in the USA]- the lack of confidential PIN codes to secure them from unauthorized use- and all us consumers are paying for that. At least I have noticed gas pumps and some other devices asking me for my zip code.... better than nothing I suppose.

Taking a pill isn't a cure for having no control over your thoughts. The problem is still there, you're just hiding the symptoms. Perhaps, maybe, just maybe, those thoughts are a direct result of what YOU are doing with your life.
