This is all very true and inspiring. The problem is that the lifespan of our fiat currency has been adequate enough for our government to build a military infrastructure so enormous that it will squelch any opposition to it's will. We have literally funded the means for our own destruction through our labor.

Think about what might have caused the Byzantines and the Romans to have felt the need to debase their currency and you'll see the connection. Military expansion/overstretched defense plus welfare/ bread and circuses required debasement of the currency. Debasement of the currency brings about inflation, which causes socio-economic dislocation. Having a currency that the government can debase encourages, perhaps even guarantees, downfall.

That is exactly to all the world empires of the past Egypt, Babylon,Greece and Rome a debasement of currency. This is nothing new with fractured banking this dates back all the way to the tower of Babel so all the so called economic genius like the Rothschildes , Rockefeller's , JP Morgan's the world has been there done that and got a T-Shirt and the system will fall I hope I'm not around when it happens because it will be called the dark ages part 2

The proven worth I care about is individual freedom - 100% self ownership as described in the Declaration as unalienable and the impetus w/Common Sense for expelling Crown rule.

The Constitution, as fine as it was, was more a Hamiltonian minority mercantilist over-reaching secretive switch for the bait of the Declaration's freedoms it disserves.

Libertarian or objectivist, who cares - non-statism is what is important. In fact man needs NO govt at all.

Do a search on what Greenspam said back in 1966 when he was a friend of Libertarian Ayn Rand who published his essay!

He defends gold as being the ONLY way to keep govt from running amuck!!! A people's freely chosen tool against statism.

Ayn Rand was NOT a libertarian. I strongly urge you to learn the difference between Libertarianism and Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism. It is not enough to prove the worth of capitalism pragmatically, you must understand WHY it is right. To discover the philosophic basis for individual rights, read Ayn Rand's works.
