If you wish to succeed, delete the above post, and refrain from making such direct statements on openly accessable forums that otherwise archive your statements.
Really, someone needs to put up a simple machines forum as a hidden service in TOR, and then PM me the address.
i think that will be my next project Good lucks and hope that you don't have the feds up on your ass. (I dislike these kind of projects as they are likely to drawn heats from authorities.)

They want you to take out loans fail and become a wage slave.
There is no such thing as a wage slave. Plus if you have any notion of fiscal discipline and practice it, you won't have any debt. It's called not spending beyond your means and SAVING.

Ah, I imagined you were suggesting a generalization where anyone would be able to award points. My mistake.
I always thought the credit system in the US was weird. People are encouraged to borrow even when they don't need to if they are young in order to prove they can pay back. It should be the opposite. "This guy is 27 and never needed to borrow any money! Wow, he must really have his shit together!" But no.
Having no debt IS getting your shit together. Plus, you get points for doing so. If you have a credit card budget set below what you actually earn, you get free points. Plus, the credit card industry hate you. You make no money for them and thus called a "deadbeat".

Don't question the antitrust authorities: Offer your price too low, you're doing predatory pricing. Offer your price too high, you're gouging your customers. Offer your price the same, you're colluding. You're evil, and should be eliminated.

I started the BMAA, but I would consider myself an anarcho-capitalist.
In reality, I don't really have any favor for the two flavors of capitalistic anarchism.
Baptist Missionary Association of America? (thats what google gives me) The Bitcoin Mutual Aid Association.

Indeed...

That is not to say that global trade is always the way to go. In a post peak oil world, the 1000 mile salad is unlikely to be able to continue to compete with the 20 mile alternative. Yet, traders consider the costs of trading.
I heard that growing is the greatest use of oil resource, rather than the transportation part.

All I am asking you is to put the argument into your own words. Its not easily quantifiable. in my community hyperlocalism is a hot topic. if we can piggyback bitcoin on hot trends that provide "actual" products and services, i say why not? can you quantify that hyperlocalism and sustainable communities are *only* for "tree hugging hippies"? If you want prosperity, global trade is the way to go. Global trade encourage division of labor and specialization, which lead us to still more economic productivity. And global trade forge interdependency. Interdependency mean that if you attack your trading partners, it will be harmful.
