In the wake of the elections, I'm getting another onslaught of attacks by Ron Paul supporters blaming me for their candidate's failure to secure the Republican nomination, and thus for the success of the Democrats, and therefore everything bad that they believe will ensure over the next four years.
Ahem. I've been blamed for worse.
So the most popular question I get is from them. It is one version or another of, "Oh yeah, Mongrel, what's a dollar worth then? Isn't it just a promissory note to pay back another meaningless dollar?"
No. One U.S. dollar is, in essence, a share in the U.S. economy. It's the legal tender of U.S. economic activity. As the economy grows, the value grows. When more paper is printed, it is analogous to a stock split, only you don't get the split shares. At least not directly.
Now for the second question: "Why is there evil and suffering in the world?"
Evil is in the world for the same reason that Napolean was at Waterloo. This world is the chosen battleground for the destruction of evil. That is why it was made. Not for constant comfort and ease, but as a final battleground.
Do not shirk from the fight. I am your Khan. I am your Khagan. Be strong.
