Whizkers,
What a difference a letter makes! 'Then' vs 'Than', I do that all the time. Thanks for the edit.
Goldfinger,
I do like Jim Sinclair message as well as the message of an unelectable presidential candidate and his economic's mentor, Ludwig von Mises , and the US Constitution
No state shall 'make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts'.

and Thomas Jefferson:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies . . . If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] . . . will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered . . . The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -- Thomas Jefferson -- The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809)
we live in exciting and critical times. No need to watch TV fantasy movies about the future, it's all happening right now, right here.
