| Ron Paul - CIGARETTES better than MONEY!!! |
 |
Ron Paul in 1983 getting on their ass as
usual about destroying our economy, currency
and country - why, how and what was going to
happen - and that at some point something has
to be used that has real value and not this
fiat paper money which is now nothing more
than the ink and paper that it is printed on,
and the only reason it has worked this long
is because at one time it *did* have gold
backing which created *confidence* which the
dollar has been "coasting" on since, but is
of course gradually losing it's momentum
originally produced by the gold backing,
losing confidence because of the removal of
gold backing, which will at some point become
*worthless* and that real commodities like
gold, silver, CIGARETTES, coffee, herds,
cattle, flocks, land, wheat, corn, beans,
honey and oil will need to be used for money
or as backing for MONEY again!!!
SOME kind of backing and abolish this credit
and debt-based currency and economy based on
the "flexible currency" introduced when
backing was abolished.
It must again be based on PROPERTY and not
just ink and paper.

The Poem - There are many that I miss having
sent my last one out a car window sparking
along the road one night, years ago. The
heralded one, of course: after sex, the two
glowing tips now the lights of a single ship;
at the end of a long dinner with more wine to
come and a smoke ring coasting into the
chandelier; or on a white beach, holding one
with fingers still wet from a swim. How
bittersweet these punctuations of flame and
gesture; but the best were on those mornings
when I would have a little something going in
the typewriter, the sun bright in the
windows, maybe some Berlioz on in the
background. I would go into the kitchen for
coffee and on the way back to the page,
curled in its roller, I would light one up
and feel its dry rush mix with the dark taste
of coffee. Then I would be my own locomotive,
trailing behind me as I returned to work
little puffs of smoke, indicators of
progress, signs of industry and thought, the
signal that told the nineteenth century it
was moving forward. That was the best
cigarette, when I would steam into the study
full of vaporous hope and stand there, the
big headlamp of my face pointed down at all
the words in parallel lines.
