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

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

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

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson
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.

Like fiat currency, it is junk.

how did he get an ar-15 in California? Aparently he is the only resident (besides the gang members) that has one of these.

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.
