The Honest Money Complaint Yet Again

http://georgedonnelly.com/asides/evolved-into-anarchist

Skip, the proper form for a refutation of my claim is to name a time and a place, not to name a book.   Where and when you do claim that there has been a modern instance of a vacuum in State authority where protection markets have operated not like the Sopranos but rather like anarcholibertarian fantasy?

"Honest Citizens" is a strawman.  My claim is just that we have historical proof that government failure can be less pernicious than the corresponding market failures under anarchy.

As for "honest money", a picture is worth a thousand words: http://bigpicture.typepad.com/comments/files/cpi_and_deflator.png.  If you still want the words, see http://knowinghumans.net/2007/11/liberty-dollars-and-inflation-sense.html.

You keep dreaming of implosion and/or civil war in America, I'll keep raising my family under America's historically unprecedented levels of secured freedom and prosperity, and we'll see how it goes.
