In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

The Fall of Rome

Part of the reason the Roman Empire collapsed was that the government debased the currency. The coins were becoming cheaper and cheaper with less and less precious metals content.

As you can see by this article, people around the U.S., more now than ever (and more now than any time since the Great Depression) are beginning to use their own currency! No longer having much faith in the four cent dollar issued by the district of corruption, towns are issuing their own currency. Just another sign of the times.

When the treasury can no longer sell its securities (treasury bonds, notes, and bills) at the monthly auction and the dollar collapses, what are you going to use?
