Identify with this:

Freedom. You want it. I want it. We want it.

But freedom is the ability to choose. Without interference. Free Will.

This means having choice. Having and embracing --

Diversity.

People who think left or right. Forwards and backwards. Up and down. Always changing always growing.

There are so many choices!! So many ways we can go. If we say we want freedom for all.

And then as we share and dance together, we become a massive movement. An entire political eco-system that moves towards --

Sustainability.

Freedom that lasts forever. Not just a week. And not for a few.

And then in this free, diverse, sustainable ecosystem we --

Belong to the largest political/social/economic movement ever created.

For you. Me. WE.

And I fucking love everyone of you.

Our Identity...We haven been taken!

This will continue until the American people understand just how they are being robbed and what they can do about it. A new monetary system has to be established to protect the freedom our Founding Fathers meant us to have---and keep.

I would say this to you, ladies and gentlemen. We must re-establish the kind of constitutional money system in this country that Jefferson wanted. He said that only the Treasury of the United States should create and issue legal tender money. He said that all money should be redeemable either in gold or in silver. That's the reason our Founding Fathers put into the Constitution a provision that no state shall make anything but gold and silver tender in the payment of debts. (In other words, the states may not issue legal tender money, and no private bank should either!)

If we go back to that kind of system and do away with fractional reserve banking, we may be able to re-establish a constitutional government in the United States. Wake up America!

I know what your saying, but I think the monetary system needs to be more flexible - and yes tied to some kind of commodity or basket of commodities. It's a diversity thing and finding the balance between diversity and sustainability. What's good at the federal level isn't always best for the local level. And vice versa.

Peace.

I'm with you there believe me. But there was a single federal monetary system before the thing from Jeckyl Island came along and it got hijacked too. Perhaps a basket of currencies tied to a range of commodities? That way it makes it more difficult to get manipulated such as banks or governments.
