Better stop using the term "Fiat"

Postby Morsecode » Sun Nov 03, 2013 1:10 pm

Did you see the initial reports about the TSA shooter? His mini-manifesto allegedly makes reference to the general ills of an overbearing gov't, and uses the phrase " fiat currency".

Now, if I were so inclined to jump on the conspiracy bandwagon (and I ain't saying I'm not)...I might consider how that was exactly newsworthy, except as a dig against perceived followers of a like mindset....that is, believers in metal are more likely to be nuts.

Interesting...

this "nut" noticed that in the reports as well...

I also heard the term "assault rifle" used twice in the same sentence in some of the top-of-the-hour radio news reports :roll:

The term Banknote or currency is better than using the term money.

Isn't the term Fiat trademarked by an Italian car company?

Great Jefferson quote. A gov't big enough to give you everything you need is big enough to take everything you have, or something like that. Those Founders were good.

I think they were grandfathered in if you already had it before the ban, but I don't know that for sure.

It's getting to the point that we are going to need a thread just to list all of the words that will get you flagged.
