Obama advancing '1-world currency'
WorldNetDaily ^ I dont think we are going to make it to the 2010 election. The Leftist are hell bent on destroying the country.

If there is not big changes in 2010, we won't see a election in 2012.

I'm not sure that I see the issue here. What does it matter whether I carry US dollars in my jeans or Euros or Pesos or Yen or Korean Yuan? For that matter, I carry a few paper bills in my wallet just for nostalgia's sake, but for the most time I'm paying for stuff with either a credit card or a debit card these days. When I went on my elk hunting trip recently I drove 1000 miles away from home, across three states, and only paid for some washing of laundry in a laundromat and my share of camp groceries with cash. The rest of my expenses were paid with either debit card transactions or credit card transactions -- gasoline purchases, meal purchases, T-shirt souvenir purchases, extra ammunition purchases, hotel payments, pliers at hardware store to extract Elk ivories purchases. What does it matter what unit of currency my wealth is denominated in? Other than small transaction expenses, I can readily convert my dollars to other currencies and back.

What is the issue you guys are making here? Can you state things a little more explicitly, because I don't get it. Why should I care if I'm paying for my Big Mac with US dollars or with Euros or with Rubles or with Rupees?

I think most people view currency as evidence of a country's sovereignty. Changing that feels like giving up part of what our country is all about.

I understand your explanation. No complaint or disparagement of your analysis, but this does not identify a substantive objection to changing currency.

Why not???

If every dollar, peso, deutche mark in the world eventually has to be converted to a new "global unit", therefore making the valuation of everything everywhere in the denomination of "global unit", then the newer global economy will need more centralized economic/banking oversight. A given.

Eventually, this newer and encompassing economic oversight must lead to a more unified legal and social structure throughout the world, in order to maintain an even more homogenous economy. The only way to eventually enforce something like that is by creating a centralized authority. A centralized government with enforcement power. That power will, like with all things involving human nature, incrementally grow. Incrementally shrink the freedoms we have that are already threatened. How could it be anything but???

If we think our freedom as outdoor loving, property owning Americans is fading (even ever-so-slightly) now, wait until 5.5 billion other people, or the rulers thereof, begain to have a say in the way that we conduct ourselves. Centralized money equals, eventually, centralized overseen economy, and that must lead, without forcible revocation, to centralized power. WTH??? What freedom loving American could ever want that??? We may not be able to stop it (who knows), but we definately should not be a proponent of it, should we??

Am I missing something here??

I believe it is a very dangerous path
