I am very sure your road is short a bunch of paver bricks, so adding one isn't going to make a big difference.
" It's not a very strong guarantee anymore anyway." is a very true statement you made there. I would follow that up with the reason being that the folks in the congress and senate have systematically worked to make sure it isn't a very strong guarantee anymore is the whole problem.
The Patriot Act is a prime example of it, I surely don't like the idea of being able to be "detained" for untold amounts of time without being able to have access to legal representation or the courts. They don't even have to bring charges against a person and can hold them in custody for years.
It makes me cringe when people tell me, "well that really doesn't affect me." It may not today, but it may well come a day that they will wish they had paid attention and tried do something about it.
The whole problem in my estimation can be boiled down to the fact that the people who are being elected to government never have taken the time to actually study the true history of the country. The are going off of what they were told in grade school and middle school history class and those books would be best used for starting a trash fire.
I talked to one guy who was running for congress this last election cycle and asked him what his thoughts on bringing back lawful money were. He looked at me like I was some kind of alien from another planet.
I took ten minutes of his time and explained it to him about money and his response was "you are joking?" He had no clue about the Fed or lawful money. He never put a thought to the fact we carry Federal reserve "notes".
He didn't get elected but it just shows that even the folks who are running and being elected don't have a clue.
