Thanks for making public this sincere thinking and writing effort, JR. I, too, once thought 'ideological dissidents' were few and far between, but then read Alex de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America" and recognized from what he had to observe and write that this nation was extremely heavily leavened by such people from its very start -- and still is, generation after generation. They are exactly the sort of people who do not go about looking for, or are reliant on, the instruction and encouragement of others. As to thinking that abolishing problematic central banks will solve many of the problems afflicting humanity, I remember reading Confucius's remark to the effect of: 'If you try to rid the world of thievery by instituting a system of weights and measures, then the people will quickly learn to steal through the use of weights and measures.' Rust never sleeps -- and the 'rusting' tendency is not something confined to any one particular ethnic or cultural group.

Although I still think you are deeply wrong on Christianity, you are fucking dead right on Central Banking. Prosit, my friend.
