It was my impression they where testing eye dilation/movement in relation to responses in order to validate emotional response during questioning.
One could also assume that in such a society, people would routinely have their failing parts replaced with replicant ones.
but he provided a solution for that as well in his signature:
There are 4 boxes to use in the defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, ammo. Use in that order. Starting now.
What people also don't realize, is that the gold standard doesn't limit money supply.
Gold just becomes the measuring stick against which all other resources (typically natural) become
valued against. 1 kilo gold = 10 kilo silver for equal value. The money supply is only limited by the
amount of resources a government with holds to back the value of the currency and the redemption rate of the currency. This holds inflation and deflation in check, protecting the masses from having their savings eroded in value if held in currency. In the end all currency is just a method for aquiring resources, whether it is gold, a couch, or an ipod. The total money supply is just a representation of all resources natural, and manufactured produced to be consumed. A fiat currency's value always comes down to the number of bills in circulation compared to the country of origins wealth in resources anyways. All the people printing the money are buying STUFF with it before its value goes down some more. They print it to buy goods and services. Only stupid people want money for the sake of money. Smart rich people make their money work, they don't save money. Their savings are in lucrative assets and commodities.
The problem with fiat currencies is that they make the lower classes feel richer, because 100,000 dollars is always going to sound better then 10,000. But when you could buy a house for 10,000 90 years ago, and now the same house costs 300,000 we have not gotten wealthier. Only our standard of living indicates a true measure of economic growth and personal wealth. I personally earn more money now than ever, but I am starting to see my standard of living decline.
