Very Interesting Quote

In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas Jefferson said in1802:

'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'

See how easy that was? All I had to do was tell you that you were wrong and you proved me wrong. Congratulations, you're not a sheep. Moral here is that you can't always trust what you read, seek truth on your own, it'll help you in the long run.
