This Week's Quote: "At the end fiat money returns to its inner value—zero." —Voltaire
When governments start trying to keep people from using anything but government-created currency, it usually means the government expects something bad to happen to that currency soon, and is preparing to block people from abandoning it.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. They just don't like competition. If you don't like the solution they try to jam down your throat, they get bitchy.
somehow, some way, the idiot guy from Egypt I mentioned in fail quotes is smarter than Jesse Jackson....that is very very disturbing, in light of his fame.
