anyway, speaking of said itch problems, there are online petitions and phone call campaigns and things to try and convince mastercard and visa (whose fault it is) to get off itch's ass. the ACLU has one of those petitions, do a web search for "ACLU mastercard" and you'll find it
apparently the whole thing is because a couple hundred fundamentalists bitched to the credit card companies, and the aclu petition already has like 100k signatures, but I suspect the ceo's already wanted to pull something like this and the fundies just gave them an excuse
