Hi Jason
Hope all is well for you. Glad your father listened to you. My mother is, so I'm happy too.
I was thinking regarding the constitution. You know, we have all those big debates about abortion (Roe vs Wade) and gun control (city of Washington recently) that went all the way to the Supreme court. Obviously, one that has much much more bigger impact on every body's life is the gold standard (well, the lack of).
How come nobody is forcing the issue to go all the way to the supreme court?
I mean, say I start a new bank that store's people gold and silver and allow people to pay using those - as if they were 2 other new currencies (gold and silver) with the respective exchange rate between themselves and between all the currencies in the world.
I'm sure, in no time, the govt will come up and file a lawsuit or something... which goes all the way to the supreme court...
I mean, this is the same kind of strategy that some folks did with the Monkey trial (John Scopes) in the 20s. They forced a lawsuit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scopes_Trial
I know we are pretty late and would have been much better for the country if such action had been done in the 1970s or early 80s, but today, we will certainly have more people behind such cause.
Thanks
Regards
Phil
