What Americans Used To Know

- Tom DiLorenzo - lewRockwell

While I don't wish to extend a flame war I do wish to address a few things that have been stated. I want to make sure that I at least did something to address what's going on here.

Gold is money. Simply because a dead president decided that gold would no longer back the fiat in that country does not universally remove it from the minds of men as money. You seem to miss this one point, it’s what people BELIEVE to be money that has value, you only ever address what is officially backed as being money. In fact it is the only universal money in existence today. I can take any fraction of gold coin minted today and use it as cash in countries from Chad to new Zealand, Denmark to Chile. I can guarantee you that if I tried to use a commodity like corn I would be tossed out of the shop. I don't know how many people you have personally quizzed but I would suggest you do, ask them if they think gold is money or jewelry. Don't infer in the way you ask them which answer you want to get and you will be surprised. You are battling what people all over have believed for thousands of years, gold is money.

I read where Hart told you to man up, write articles for posting in these forums. While his post was harsh, if indeed you have such an understanding of what's going on in the world why are you not on the contributor list here? I do take issue with the way you generally, but not always, throw in remarks about the intellectual capabilities of the people writing the articles. To me this shows a lack of common sense for any person that is willing to enter a discussion must accept without prejudice that there will be opposing points of view which should be discussed rationally and without personal attacks.

Being relatively new to these forums I have gone back through far too many posts by yourself and others here. What I've found is that the closer we get to today’s date what you post seems to contain less in the way of valid material and more ranting and throwing around insults. I would add this is the same for Hart.

The three members you chose to confront about being the same person are not the only ones who have posted their displeasure with Jim C and the way he brings unrelated items into a topic. I understand that Jim C wants everyone to know that the author may have views that oppose his own but these are generally not within the range of the topic at hand. Jim C does push many threads off topic and I for one wish he would stop it already. There are many other forums where his opinions, as he expresses them, would be better suited. I know this for a fact as I have previously posted about my daughters hunger for all things related to the civil war which has taken us on a journey through many sites devoted to the type of discussion Jim C wishes to hold here.

Having read through many old posts I to like probably many others have wondered, but only Hart has brought up, if Jim C and Lovetochat is the same person. For someone who seems to be well educated, Vox I don't understand how this never came to mind before this time? When you used the fact that Hart once posted that his grandparents came from Germany and then used the fact that Schwerpunkt and Verboten are German words, I had to think that the name you use is German. As I recall a discussion on evolution and God, some professor listed the fact that vox kadavergehorsamkeit translates to the voice of zombie obedience, also German no?

I'm not surprised that the three you went after as being one work in the same office, I to work with a gal who frequents these forums and has on a few occasion posted. Her views and mine are often very similar, would you go so far as to say that because we agree and we have posted here we are the same person?

Using the word “your” to conclude any investigative work seems premature. Let’s do some more Sherlock Holmes type work. If as Hart indicated they all work in the same office then there is a very good chance that they all use the same software, software that would allow for the use of “your” in place of “you’re” when spell check is used. I would also suggest that the same may hold for other people posting here. It could even be something as simple as they all use the same browser which has a spell check function and sets itself to whatever region they live in. Not saying this is what happened, but I am stating that your conclusion is by no means the final word. In this thread you use “your” extensively in your responses where in some places I would have used “you’re”. Any grade school student would tell you’re reading something into nothing.

I wish all of you would stick to posting about the topic at hand and that ALL of you would stop attacking people personally, authors and commenters. You should all grow up!

I think I have made my point so I’ll end here.

Beginning of the headline :"During the weeks following the [1860] election, [Northern newspaper] editors of all parties assumed that secession as a constitutional right was not in question . . . . On the contrary, the southern claim to a right of peaceable withdrawal was countenanced out of reverence for the natural law principle of government by consent of the governed." ~ Howard Cecil Perkins, editor, Northern ...
