• I am not offering this is a critique of the internet, its just that there are a lot of factors involved. It does offer plenty of possibilities. It also has, it can have, a cheapening effect and I think both exist and I think its true of everything. You could say that about the printing press.

• Desktop publishing was a big innovation that meant small groups or even poor societies could do their own publication without the capital investment in a major printing press. That's a big difference. Same is true of more advanced technologies - it can offer plenty of liberatory possibilities - can - but whether it does or not or whether it serves for coercion depends on socioeconomic decisions.

• Look at the history of the printing press, when this was invented what sort of consequences this had. Or industrialization, what sort of consequences that had.

And it took awhile until societies learned how to find the right kind of policies to contain this and manage and steer this.

• Most governments, not all of them, but most, certainly don't want their citizens using gold. They want them in the currency that they are creating. When they are debasing money, or printing money, they are spending it and they want it to have as much value as possible when they originally spend it. Of course once they spend it, it will lose value for them and everyone else that holds it. But they need demand for their currency. They need as many people as possible holding it and transacting it. The more people that use gold, the harder it makes it.

• The greatest threat facing America today
  is the disastrous fiscal policies of our own government,
  marked by shameless deficit spending and
  Federal Reserve currency devaluation.
  It is this one-two punch -
  Congress spending more than it can tax or borrow,
  and the Fed printing money to make up the difference -
  that threatens to impoverish us by further
  destroying the value of our dollars.
