Joyce,
I agree with you. The total irony of this situation is so thick I must
employ my handy-dandy Rambo survival knife (compass and match stick carry
case included) to slice through it.
Reid has effectively told you, the e-gold user, that you may not do
business with a company that does business with another gold currency.
E-gold, which claims to be non-judgmental, non-reputable, and non-biased
(based on the idea of being Hard money) now claims it wants to regulate the
amount of information and choices users have the right to view.
Strange, isn't it? I wonder how long a "currency" (as Craig Haine
pointed out) which should be treated like cash will survive when it then
tells the spender WHAT or WHERE it can be spent or initially obtained.
Ha! Maybe that is why they call USD "Dead Presidents" because cash,
unlike e-gold, is simply a currency to be spent. ( Maybe the Federal
Government should tell banks that work in CAD, FRF or other major currencies
they will be eliminated if they offer any information or access to another
currency than USD?)
Joyce, I applaud you for your rational thinking. E-gold USED to be the
alternative to government controlled, stone age thinking-based currency. It
appears as such no more.
I think in High School I heard that "When in Rome, do as the Romans!"
Could that be the case of e-gold with its server located in Melbourne,
Florida? "When in the US, act like Big Brother and dictate what can and
cannot be viewed by the general public!" (Strom Thurman would be so proud!)
Well, for all of you out there, (Joyce, you too) that want a currency
that DOES not try to dictate to you, stop by Gaithmans at:
http://businesses.msn.com/GEGE/
and pick up your Standard Reserve Instant Anywhere account for $75 USD
which includes a stored value debit card, EXCELLENT customer support, and
OFFSHORE location, and best of all...the freedom to spend YOUR money they
way YOU want to.
Did I mention OSGold? 3PGold? GoldMoney? e-Bullion?
Maybe this is why all of my recent requests for e-gold are turning out
to be OUTEXCHANGES for an INEXCHANGE to SR currency.
I think the old mantra states:
"He who is left holding a large amount of e-gold when the panic starts the
clients jump ship holds...valueless e-gold" or something like that.
I will waive all exchange fees for the rest of the week for ANYONE who
wants to trade in their e-gold for SR-AUG or SR-USD. Bring your e-gold and I
will trade it for you free of charge for either SR-USD or SR-AUG. You can
then pull the value out of an ATM machine. (Can you do that with e-gold
yet?)
Gaithmans...we give you the choice!
Have a great afternoon, Joyce!
