Dear Mr. Zube:

Thank you very much for your very long and thoughtful e-mail. I
appreciate your having taken the time to write.

1- We will fix the word "reserved" at the bottom of our screens --> an
oversight that spell check did not pick up.

2- Until we redid our site, we had about two hundred monographs,
articles, and some full length books on the site. Unfortunately, many of
them contained information that was not correct. We do not want to
mislead people, and we have a very tight agenda, as you can see. I am in
the process of reviewing all of the materials, and we shall selectively
put some of them back on the site. (We just reposted Isabel Paterson's
essay from The God of the Machine.) Part of the problem is that we don't
want to overwhelm people with too much stuff that is not on point. Few
people have the patience or the time to wade through thousands of pages
of material. Too much material is a turnoff.

3- I would be most greatful if you could identify the public sector
union you mention that wanted to get paid outher than in Federal Reserve
notes.

4- Also, I would like to know more about the "experts" who agreed that
without legal tender a modern war could not be fought. That has a true
ring to it, and the details would be useful.

5- We are not gold bugs, and we do not wish to compel people to use
gold. Our program is much more modest: An end to coercion (legal
tender); and full disclosure without any misrepresentations re our
monetary system. It is our position that the market will choose the most
efficient commodity as the medium of exchange, and there are compelling
reasons why that commodity is gold. However, we do not want to compel
people to use gold.

6- I applaud your good efforts and thank you again for all  you have
done.

Best Regards,


Larry Parks
