Me: "Regarding the point at about one hour, 25 minutes in: Then why not get all levels of government, state, federal and local out of the banking system and make like the Swedish Free Banking Era: One failure in only 60 years because of an instance of fraud."

So where did You (Shane) and Virgil get that information from?
I basically just copied and pasted the quote from Virgil.

It's from the Wikipedia article on "Free Banking", entry number 5. The citation it uses isn't an online source, though. I'll look to see if it's been posted somewhere.
Edit: Got it. Here's the site where you can download the PDF for the article cited: http://ideas.repec.org/a/ejw/volone/2005279-324.html
And here's the pdf itself: http://www.aier.org/ejw/archive/doc_view/3621-ejw-200508?tmpl=component&format=raw
OK.
Thanks for the information, Virgil0211. :)
Oh, and PS: 500 posts for me!
