    What a goddess. I see her wielding the sword and scales of Justice, not criminal, but economic. Someone of such clear thought and dedication to purpose, and so beautiful. I’m love sick.

    I enjoyed your most excellent guide to Sound Money.
    Clearly the U.S. dollar fails as an Honest Money. “If the value of money is not consistent through time, if the unit of account slowly deteriorates over the life of the contract, an honest deal is turned into a scam. If money does not provide a store of value by maintaining it’s purchasing power- it fails the test as a sound money”.
    Truer words have never been penned. If only Americans would wake up to the truth you outlined we could then return to a path of honest money and as such honest government.
    One need not look beyond the CPI for any period after 1971 to examine how miserably the U.S. Dollar has stolen from our fellow citizens.
    I applaud your efforts.
