They used what? Oh, dollars, eh?

So you're claiming the US Government has juridiction in Tanzania?

You don't need a government to have a medium of exchange.

No, but are you claiming that the US government does not back dollars in Tanzania?

Look, I know perfectly well that rudimentary trade can occur without any government involvement. All I'm saying is that trade be severely hampered if it did not make use of government-back currency. Certainly modern trade would be nothing like it is without such currency. And that currency constitutes an "intelligent" government involvement. The Theory of Evolution specifically excludes *all* intelligent intervention, of course.

Please don't distort what I write.
