“It’s unlikely a generation of pink-shirt wearing, pin-faced, tatooed, dishonesty rationalizing, self-“disabled” whiners has the requisite character or fitness to be able to accomplish that; and there’s no evidence to the contrary thus far.”

Unlike the tie-dyed, fringed, dope smoking, zoned out, self-satisfied boomers? But then, it was good enough for Clinton to get elected?

“Abla de Chinese? Been fitted for a Burkha yet?”

Funny you mention that, given that boomers have been tearing down the west pretty much constantly?

No, I’m fighting the battle with the only folks who are gonna be around when the dust clears. With the Church, not against it.

“Perhaps, comrade Breckenridge, you can demonstrate usefulness by telling the class why the Soviet collective had to build a wall to contain its bipedal property in order to maintain the “soundness” of its monetary system?”

As did Comrade Pelosi in confiscating passports from the unpersons? Plus ca change, plus de la meme chose. The only difference is that now we have those willing to give up their natural rights to the state.

But then that’s all ancient history.

Do you really think that the generation that fought on Normandy would look back at what you folks have done and are doing with pride? But, like you said, it’s all ancient history.

“Can “Sound money” exist in the context of a framework whose facilitators are morally corrupt? NO.”

The point of sound money is to take that decision out of the hands of the government - prior to the central bank, they couldn’t just ‘print money’ to pay their bills.

You know, just like Montesquieu and Hobbes? Restrain the state by restricting the power of the state. But then that’s ancient history.

Oh that’s right suuuper genius — prior to the Central Bank, every local, regional, and corner bank printed its own counterfeitable currency. Great Idea. Not.

And after all, Alan “The Wizard” Greenspan’s free market sooo demonstrated it could police itself.

Not.

What is the purpose of government articulated in the American Declaration of Independence?

>>boomers have been tearing down the west pretty much constantly?

Those who can Do, those who can’t Teach.   Which are you, Junior — fixing to lead the proletariat from the Edumacational Farmhouse as you are {cough}.

What of value have you produced in the real world that American children should be taught, hmmm?  "Teacher".  Indeed.

Awe,  those old farts won't fall on their swords so Comrade Breckenridge can have a  job.  Boohoo.

 

From each according to their ability, to each according to their need, that how it goes in Breckenworld, ehh?

Tsk Tsk Mr/Ms Breckenridge. Wobbling that hemp straw-man in a 1968 flower jackwagon down the hill from your Ivory Tower is not a substitute for an answer.

I'll repeat/rephrase the questions:

1. Tell the class why the Soviet collective had to build a wall to contain its bipedal property in order to maintain the “soundness” of its monetary system?

2. In your own words, what is your proposal for rendering “sound money” in a quantifiable medium that is conducive to commerce in this multinational post-modern technocracy?

3. What is the purpose of government articulated in the American Declaration of Independence?

Surely, given the vast warehouse of experience at your disposal, rendering an actual answer shouldn't be so difficult... especially for someone who presumes to be a "teacher".
