Elroy posted this once relating to self sufficient farms:

If men did not have some commodity of objective value which was generally acceptable as money, they would have to resort to primitive barter or be forced to live on self-sufficient farms and forgo the inestimable advantages of specialization. If men had no means to store value, i.e., to save, neither long-range planning nor exchange would be possible.

It was by greenspan. Perhaps long range planning, long term stores of value, and engineered societies are the demons we must fight. It seems everytime we try long term engineering - something always gums up the works. Gordon lightfoot told me plans often fail.

Look what Israel gives us -

let me put it in simple terms for my redneck buddies. Your pecker is getting you into trouble with the young girls - now cut it off before it gets you dead! Hard to do eh? You make it sound like it is such an easy thing to do. President Clinton couldn't do it - niether could bill o'reilly - them peckers - so much trouble - hehe. Israel gives you so much - it is like your right arm - how do you just CUT it off?
