I respectfully disagree.
Currency is about as political as one can get. Manipulating the currency
system is a purely political process, every move made for political, not
economic, reasons.
An apolitical currency is kind of like an "apolitical" judge. I love to
complain about judges legislating from the bench, rewriting the law to suit
their own political bent. The judges who don't do that, who rule on the
basis of what the law says instead of what they want it to say, are often
described as being above politics, but in fact, by insisting that the law
means what it actually says, they are taking a very political position (and
a very good one, I might add).
It's the same with gold. That a gold-backed currency can't be manipulated
like the politically-controlled fiat currencies does not make gold
apolitical; it simply makes it the opposition. It's just not possible to be
apolitical about gold.
On the "on-topic" front, I'd like to make a suggestion. How about an
Of-Interest-to-E-Golders list for topics that may or may not be E-Gold
related but that would be of interest to the "typical" (as if there's any
such thing!) subscriber to this list. There are plenty of free listservers
out there, so it would be a snap to set up.
