The comment which I wrote here should say Your response does NOT make any sense. The problem with myself is that I tend to write very fast on the computer. One habit which is to my discredit to a limited extent is the "eliding" of words. In effect, sometimes I miss out important, and "unimportant" words on occasion. I will try my best not to allow it to happen again but I cannot guarantee it... To err is human.. Shakespeare.

If for whatever reasons governments cannot pay off their debts one way of achieving economic stability is to "print" it en masse!! This is not ofcourse a good debt concellation/reduction plan (!) as it could lead to serious inflation, or even hyperinflation.....but it can work..if not too much money is created by governments.
No, this would ONLY work if the basic values of the United States were still sound and ahead of the world (which, don't forget(!), is what *makes* the value on those pieces of paper). That was true 200 years ago when the American ideals were still ahead of the world, but after the unaddressed near-genocide of the Native People's here, the sell-out of American values (and land resources) to Chrematistics, along with the general forgetfulness of Americans of their roots (like most now have, esp. after the 60's), it does not have much solvancy except in a few niches like this, but unfortunately, it appears that the head of this body (i.e. the federal government) is *completely ignorant* of the desires of the creative classes(!). This is a serious problem. We shouldn't have to be doing this underground. And every American who's paying rent is paying into a system of destruction, or neglecting to use the tools in place to reform it. There needs to be a total re-vamping of property law, for example. The Native People's, who still suffer, mostly invisibly, on the "reservations" the US Gov't confined them to decades ago should have right of way across any land of the America's. Etc. Etc. Seriously, if people allow a government of the people, for the people, and by the people to fall into neglect, then it's value will continue to go crap. mark _______________________________________________ P2P Foundation - Mailing list http://www.p2pfoundation.net https://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation
