If we outlaw cash, as you say, either the war starts or (the last vestige of) freedom dies.

Yup. I wonder how much luck we will have trying to get people to realize this? ESPECIALLY the soccer-mom types of both sexes who put personal safety ahead of anything else? They will buy right into it if it is sold to them as a way to prevent street robberies. And it WILL be sold to the public this way. No more worries about homeless crack heads busting you upside the head to get money for crack,when money doesn't exist. Of course,the banks will buy right into it. One reason being they will ge a fee from EACH transaction that way,but the primary reason being the people who own the banks will be the ones in charge of the world under "Corporate Goverment".

Frankly, we are better getting it over with sooner rather than later, because in 30 years the coming "reformed" generations won't be willing to even touch a nasty evil gun.

(Unless of course they are wearing a black uniform in the Service of the State.)

Precisely the point I am trying to make.

I am with you on the prospect of the "new money" which will be "no money" - the cashless society.

Did you know this has been discussed since back in the 70's? I am old enough to remember those discussions.

Back in the late 70's many people thought that the "new money" was imminent. Why? Because our economic crisis - primarily brought on by the Jimmy Carter nightmare of the 76-80 years but also brought on by some of the "control the economy" measures of the Nixon/Ford years - seemed so grave.

Then what happened? A miracle of God's grace? Yes. The miracle's name was Reagan. Reagan was elected because of the nightmare that was Carter. Reagan was a Republican. He was different from Carter and Ford and Nixon. Sanity took hold - somewhat...though even Reagan was not perfect.

But the "new money" threat disappeared for 20 years.

Now it's back - evidently. What will bring its likelihood into fruition? Economic collapse of America. What will bring that eventuality into reality? Continued resistance by the Demoncreep led Senate to any talk of sane tax policies!

You are very right about the fact that voting Democrat will bring on the horrors that you oppose fast - lightening fast.

Go ahead.

I just can't do that.
