Really it doesn't matter to me, I'd say the mere fact that humanity was on the gold standard since the dawn of markets and that fiat currency historically has quickly failed is enough to say something, Modern markets keep the fiat only because of the constant increase of wealth matching the rise of inflation.

But in 1900 we went onto just gold. Like I said to Mercator, what about all the ups and downs after then?

Gold isn't perfect. It doesn't stop the business cycle, just move it towards a better status quo and enables faster economic growth in the boom times.

However the recessions on gold were quite light and usually kept along with relatively long periods of economic stability, most of them were momentary panics caused not by monetary infractions but significant market changes and disasters.

I hope not I applied for an internship with them.

It isn't, I realize I was confusing the Southern Christian Leadership Conference(SCLC), with the SPLC. I was referring to an interview on NPR with Bernice King, where she described her problems reforming the organization as she kept running into nepotism and scandals.

Well it is very competitive. I will be competing with people from Harvard and Yale and the like. My Main advantage is I am a veteran and from the South. So we will see. Sadly I do not know if i can accept if I do get it. I have a kid and bills and such and they are not paying. But if I do I will see what sort of deal I can work out a loan or something to cover my expenses as the position is pretty prestigious.

For clarification I would never apply for an internship with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.

Tell me about it, Ive spent the last week trying to figure out an argument for an area of law I have no clue about just in the hopes I do well on a moot court competition. I still am pretty freaking clueless, as it is a finer point of the 14th and 4th amendment.

Depends on if you have experienced a full range of my views or only a few points. A select few points people will take me as a conservative.

Ron Paul calls DiLorenzo as a witness.
DiLorenzo has supported southern secession (wouldnt you liberal yaps like this? You could implement your liberal progressive pipe dreams and watch the country turn into a socialist shithole) and criticized Lincoln.
Therefore, Ron Paul is a racist, anti-Lincoln (thats a crime apparently), secessionist (and these opinions mean the testimony against the Fed is invalid).

In the same sense that any monetary policy affects business cycle, gold indeed has something to do with the business cycle.

Very little. The problem is artificially low interest rates.

Yes. Primarily that. However artificially low interest rates have a genesis in over-inflated currency.
