No surprise there, Arjay.

>>Yabby and Pericles.They love me on the Ron Paul site and one in particlar,is thinking about implementing some of my ideas.<<

I'm sure that you fit right in.

There is a difference, though, between exchanging wacko nut-job theories about how wonderful life would be if only we were paid in gold bars, and if only the banks didn't lend us money, etc. etc., and living in the real world.

The really sad part is that it is not that difficult to understand, if only you put your mind to it. Instead of which, you mindlessly repeat slogans, when you could be listening, challenging, thinking and learning.

The areas you should be questioning are:

>>...banks have created 25 times the amount of currency above pop increases and GDP needed to accommodate a balanced economy.<<

What, in your terms, constitutes a "balanced economy"? How would that affect economic growth? How would it impact our international competitiveness?

What would have been the impact on the economy, if the banks had not, in your terms, "created" all that money? Would we still own any businesses at all, here in Australia, or would they all have been taken over by overseas corporations?

When you have been able to answer these relatively straightforward questions, you will understand exactly how wildly impractical - and dangerous - are Ron Paul's theories.

I hold out little hope for answers, of course. That would require logic and clarity, whereas your favoured approach uses emotion and sloganeering.

But I encourage you to try.

Incidentally, any hope of getting answers to the other questions you have left lying around in the course of this thread?

Thought not.

Thanks for the heads-up on this, by the way Arjay.

>>They love me on the Ron Paul site...<<

I hadn't realized that there was such a lively comments track over there...

But it does explain a great deal about the flavour of your posts here.

Here's one of Ron Paul's fanboys, advocating... well, you work it out.

"I am very angry and ready to make WAR! This is not a time for the union of the Nations. This is the time for the division of Nations who appreciate true Freedom and Independence. The Union of all the Nations is a global economic fantasy of the foolish, cowardly and ludicrous International Tyrannical Terroristic Dictators known as Central Bankers.

Bring it on Rothschild! Bring it on Rockefellers. Bring it on Warburg. You have had your way with many peoples of the world; NOW the LORD of HOST will let you be consumed by the FIRE of your own Creation. We know you have the ‘lost nukes under your sleeves’. You cannot hide from the LORD! Get on your knees before the ‘Key of David’ and make an effort to save yourself and your families by giving up your ludicrous plans. Embrace ‘The Kingdom of God on Earth’ as it is, was and ever shall be in Heaven..."

Here's the thing, Arjay.

That stuff is bad for you.

It's bad for your brain. It drips away and rots your powers of independent reasoning.

Give it up. It is all baloney anyway.
