Visa and Mastercard = non-profits?

OK, so this article is kind of interesting. Then my eyes almost popped out of their sockets when I read this line:

Visa and MasterCard are nonprofit associations made up of thousands of bank members.

I guess I never really thought about exactly what Visa and Mastercard were... but I certainly never would have thought of them as non-profits. Sounds pretty shady to me. If you're a non-profit why are you violating anti-trust policy? It must be to help the community.

Really?

Thanks, very nice of you.

First, check my

Amazon.com wishlist

and there's no need to worry that I already have it or won't use it.

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.

A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
