...also they try to DISTRACT with "these people are not living in the real world". It was a good thing that when the ride of Paul Revere occurred, there were people that did not think that they were 'kooks' so that they could prepare for the British.
That is by far the most idiotic analogy I've ever heard on Free Republic, and that's up against some stiff competition.
You cannot sneak up a monetary change like this in the dead of night. Billions had to be spent preparing people in Europe for it - changing everything from cash registers, ATM machines, to sophisticated systems of accounting. It is not something that can be done in the dead of night or without warning. But you don't think to this level of detail; you seize hold of some paranoid nutjob's meanderings and take it to heart. There are plenty of genuine things to be afraid of in this world - Islamic terrorism, the far left, Hillary Clinton - this is not one of them. By continuing in this paranoid fantasy you're breathing life and wasting energy on a mirage when there are real problems to be solved.
Think about it, and do THINK before you reply.
