I was curious enough to actually go find the 6th edition on open library. The actual definition:
Money. In usual and ordinary acceptation it means coins and paper currency used as a circulating medium of exchange, and does not embrace notes, bonds, evidences of debt, or other personal or real estate. Lane v Railey, 280 KY. 319, 133 S.W.2d 74, 79, 81.
A medium of exchange authorized or adopted by a domestic or foreign government as part of its currency. U.C.C. S 1-201(24).
Neither "sawdust" nor "beaver pellets" appear anywhere in the 1700-page book. Googling that phrase turns up only this very thread.
does not embrace notes, bonds, evidences of debt, or other personal or real estate
That almost seems to refute what other SovCits try to do by paying with "coupons", invoice slips, tax forms, or whatever their specific nonsense du jour is.
They seriously believe that the dictionary definition of money is "pellets and sawdust may be money but Federal reserve notes cannot"?
Even aside from the absurdity of it, it refers to itself in the definition. It's a bit like saying the definition of 'milk' is "cow milk is milk, but pineapple juice isn't milk."
Ownership really is a solipsistic paradigm, but at least the solipsism is buried deep below a seamless constructed reality we can all share. This is just naked solipsism that isn't even self-aware enough to be called nihilism.
Right? I’m with the principle that money is made up and the systems is fucked, but also there’s a mechanical reality to the system constructed around it. Additionally laws ain’t magic, people have to agree to honor them even if it’s just tacitly by virtue of being born into them, and the overwhelmingly vast majority of people are participating in this system.
How do you find sovcits locally? I've got some silver quarters and need some work done. They should accept .9 oz of silver as payment of a few thousand in wages owed right?
