oops.
That was me (feel free to note the usernames) posting an initial version of the article to a left wing site to
(a) Get some free editing via Kuro5hin's edit queue.
(b) Gauge reaction, and get more ideas.
I am now posting the article (you'll note it has differences - mostly an extra paragraph regarding the US using home currency to service its debt) to a conservative site to present the ideas here, and again gauge reaction and get more ideas - please feel free to make suggestions to ways I could fix or expand the article.
I consider this a relatively non-partisan piece of interest to both sides, and want input and discussion from both sides if I can get it. I fully intend to post futher edited versions of the the same piece to other boards in the future.
