Reminds me of "I Didn't Speak Up"...OK folks. Let's try a philosophical question. I know all y'alls (a Southern US term ;-) are exemplary citizens, and would never consider money laundering, hiding income, offshore accounts, funnelling money to the wrong people, etc., etc., etc. However, how can we be sure that all transactions are legit? What's to stop the wrong people from becoming MMs and funneling money to their cells wherever they may be in the world?Maybe nothing. Perhaps at some point people just need to realize that they can't control everything. If bad people use money, cell phones, cars, guns, the internet, encryption, and private meetings to help achieve their goals, then so be it. I do not wish to regulate or ban money, cell phones, cars, guns, the internet, encryption, and private meetings in an effort to stop them.
In Germany they first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me --
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
