Shhhhhhhh..eveybody thinks that paper stuff is money. Say it ain't so Babe!

Ever wonder what "pay to the bearer on demand" meant? Did anybody ever get arrested at the gates of Fort Knox screaming in Serbo Croation.."Ve vant our moneski! Give em goldem! say here right here on paper ve get gold... "

Tricky eh? Pay to the bearer on demand 1/35th and then we make it illegal to own the stuff. Of course amerikanski stupide no? He never catch on. How can he pick up the gold if he be arrested for possession after he turns the corner?

So what is that paper supposed to mean? What is it worth? what does legal tender mean? Is that what it is ok to be sweet to? IF you takeze dorrah and go to gov't and ask "how much this worth", how long before you get locked up in loony bin?

They should have some stuff that everybody agrees how much it is worth. Like a night with Sharon Stone, or a really good meal where you don't get gas.. or some worth stuff that is always the same yuh know? So like if there is inflation or anything like that you can always go out and get some of that stuff and check against it and figure out just how much the worth stuff is against what ever the gov't is calling money.
