And he's right about the "governmentally fixed price for gold", and if it was legal in this country to offer competing currencies I don't think many people would care whether the USD was backed by gold or not. But because we're forced to use one central currency, it should at the very least be value backed.

The way I understand it, you can legally offer and accept another currency, it's just that you aren't allowed to refuse to accept dollars as settlement of debts incurred.
That's why it's legal to use gold, bitcoins, gift cards, frequent flyer miles, Xbox live points, WoW gold, etc. Even credit cards and checks aren't actually legal tender.


mo·nop·o·ly /məˈnäpəlē/ Noun
The exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service.

So, two questions. 1. would you say the US government has "control" over the supply or trade of the commodity of monies?

2. If you can "legally offer and accept another currency" why did these guys get raided if competing currency is legal? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberty_Dollar#Federal_Government_response

I'm a frequent flyer and as much as I might agree with you being against the scans, I am not against getting patted down/searched before I enter an airplane.

Would you say the same fucking thing about taking the damn Greyhound?

A bus's manufacturing cost doesn't range from $32-$205 million.

What happens when three malls all get blown up at the same time, and they decide to install scanners there?

Certain high-risk schools have mandatory metal detectors, would you be against those as well? If a mall/area has a history of attacks or crime, I would not be surprised if they implemented certain security methods to deter them from happening over and over again.

BUT, from what I can remember, the TSA has only been a hinderence on my travel experience, and as I can only quote anecdotal evidence, I cannot think of anything the TSA has done that has been a positive influence to either travel OR safety, unless we're just talking about the illusion of safety. I would love for someone to pull up statistics on the TSA and show hard numbers on whether or not these methods are effective or not instead of conjecture and "OMG, BUT, TERRORISTS."

I'd also like to add your actual poll choices suck

Seems like a good idea to me for short <2h trips. Ryan air has predicted, that these seats would lower the cheapest flights down to 6€, which'd be immensely cheap.

As a frequent flyer, I can tell you that most "<2 hour flights" often involve an additional hour of sitting on the runway. This is a terrible idea.

On Engadget here: http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/02/25-million-virgin-frequent-flyer-points-nets-you-a-trip-to-space/

Looks like you need two million frequent flyer miles.

"If it was ready next week, I'd be there," Alan Watts, who has traded in two million Virgin Atlantic frequent flyer miles for a ride on SpaceShipTwo, told SPACE.com. "I'm really looking forward to it."

...and I'm gonna take that idea and run with it, dft...power point to frequent flyer mile conversions for sift-up purposes....perfect.

Can we trade power points for frequent flyer miles?

Frequent flyer miles.

"do you get, like, frequent flyer miles on that?"
