There are people of every religion that hate others.  Hate is not a religious item so the truth lies in the beholder.  You should not associate ones hate with their religion, but by their actions.

Before anyone else posts on this wall I urge you to educate yourself on how an airplane actually works by reading this article.  http://www.askthepilot.com/germanwings-crash/

1. Miss Cummings is wrong.  Airplanes do not fly themselves the pilot's fly the plane. 

2. The pilots want to get home as bad as you do, so do you want a hacked computer or a crazy man in a bunker in colorado springs flying your plane from JFK?  I'd rather have two highly trained individuals.

3. Stop listening to MSNBC or CNN and ask a real pilot about what really goes on up there.

I want to start off by saying I am an advocate of bitcoin.  With any new innovation there will always be people that are affected by change and will shun that change because it will impact how business is conducted.   One of the biggest hurdles I see with the implementation of bitcoin is that congress will create legislation that restricts bitcoin from becoming a world wide denomination of currency.  Why?  Money is power!!!!!

First and foremost, lets look at what happened after the United States won the Revolutionary War.  One of the grunting points the "Rebels" had with the King was Taxation without Representation.  Shortly after the defeat of the British the politicians elected realized that without any income they have no power.  Taxes had to be implemented to give the US government a means to create infrastructure. 

My big question is what would the role be of the National Treasury, Congress, and Execute branch be if bitcoin were to be adopted as a world-wide currency?  Is there a way to implement bitcoin and still have the same type of government without us being taxed the same way?  Is there a different system that would work better for our society?

My hope is that bitcoin will get ride of a centralized bank and let currency finally be free to the public.  However, it seems that the individuals with the most bitcoins can obviously corrupt the system.  Where is the middle ground?  "Hi, officer I'm sorry I was speeding here's 300 bitcoins for your trouble goodbye", said the richman.  How should the ones that abuse the system be held accountable? 

Thanks,

Publicx
