### Yes, of course. Without a government preventing the entry of solid
competitors, e.g. completely transparent gold deposit houses, you
would have a choice of banks, and the bad ones would soon run out of
customers to fleece.

### Bill, give it up :)

You can't convince me that embracing malignant stupidity (i.e.
centralized control of the society) is a good idea. Of course I will
agitate for its abolition, even though I have no hope of success.

It makes me feel both virtuous and smart. Can't beat that.
