Whole countries too: <Companies such as these create a culture of complacency. > Ancestral VVV, which created the greatest empire ever, ended in hubris, complacency and The British Disease. Now China has adopted a few of those VVV and with that limited approach has soared from a horror story of poverty, murder, and communist black cats to a less restrictive white cats approach though still within a totalitarian regime which is decidedly unvirtuous and disposed to murder opponents.

Japan for decades used many VVV and zoomed from total defeat after being atomic bombed out of their maniacal militaristic megalomania. Unfortunately for them, they stopped the likes of Takafumi Horie from cleaning up the self-dealing bandits running corporate Japan and expanding into the Cyberspace realm in a big way.

Even Brazilians are free to adopt VVV, just as they are free to use english without paying any royalty and ElM had done so to his great benefit [without even saying thank you - same as TJ and his grandfather]. To the extent that Brazilians adopt VVV, they will do well.

You will also be free to use my great new currency, freeing you from gold and the owners of the US$ and other government run fiat currencies. Gold will be a curiosity of a bygone era.

We the Virtuous,
