You leave me little to rebut without being a nit picker. I stand corrected on the 6%.
I think our difference of opinion will continue but I'll watch events unfold as time goes by and see if I can find the greater good in the kind of money we use.
I still believe that gold gives more power to the individual to strictly control to what use his wealth is put. But perhaps the wriggle room provided by an elastic currency and the increase in power for a monetary elite to manage the economy is worth a degree of loss of power to the individual if we as a nation of individuals can provide better lives for our families.
Thanks for an enjoyable exchange.
Likewise-- I'll assume we have essentially the same values, but that we differ with what we've seen and understand. Ping me if you see anything that refutes or backs up what we've been saying-- it's so hard to find someone who both disagrees with me and thinks clearly at the same time.
FWIW, there's nothing wrong with my manhood. I just checked it last month and it was fine.
