“I may make light of being a domestic terrorist, but if they can brand me a domestic terrorist and confiscate all my materials, and then expand into confiscating other people’s materials.”

Without your right to have money that holds it’s value, all else just fails because you don’t have any real money.

I’m very proud to say I only took one course in economics in college, and it was on Saturday morning – Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8 o’clock.

The physical manifestation of gold is nothing more than the physical manifestation of value itself.

When it comes to the Federal Reserve, there’s an awful lot of books out there; in my library, I bet I’ve got 200 books if I’ve got any on the Federal Reserve. And we don’t need any more books,

I’m not the government. Nor would I EVER want to be the government – I don’t know how you feel about government, but I’m not really happy about them.

When the money goes bad, everything else goes bad.

Appeal can’t happen until I’ve been sentenced.

Most people are cowards.

Now I don’t know what your college experience was like, but I’ll tell ya, on Saturday morning at 8 o’clock, the last thing I wanted to do was go to economics class.

The thing is that people have been educated or miseducated or brainwashed into believing that this is wayyyy too complicated for regular people to understand and that we need to let PhD economists guide us along in terms of what’s right… and that’s all bull.

And then go after Gibson Guitars and so many other different people… they can go after you, they can go after everybody, we could all be “terrorists.” That’s really the big concern.

We need action, and that’s what the Liberty Dollar did, it gave people a way to take action. Our catch phrase was you want to “make money, do good, and have fun,” and people really responded to that.

Every statute for terrorism requires violence.

The thing that distinguishes America is that it is a republican form of government – anything that is not outlawed or specifically barred or regulated by the [Constitution] is LEGAL.

The reason we need to have a gold and silver based currency is to bring discipline to the financial system so the government can’t go out and do all sorts of bad things.

The thing is that people have been educated or miseducated or brainwashed into believing that this is wayyyy too complicated for regular people to understand and that we need to let PhD economists guide us along in terms of what’s right… and that’s all bull.

It’s hard to go out in front of people with an acoustic guitar and improvise for 30 or 40 minutes, but I had a compulsion to do it. I just had to in a way that I can’t really explain.

My wife bought me a vintage Gibson guitar that isn’t just beautiful but has tremendous sentimental value. I have plenty of guitars for live gigs but this is one to treasure.

When I was around 7 or 8 my Dad took me to a B.B. King recording session, well, that really did it. Huge and lasting impressions.

I definitely have a different perspective on music in general. But once I actually have a guitar in my hands, I think I disappear into the same black hole that I was disappearing into when I was 15.

I enjoy the song writing process more than anything. It’s what I like the most, just sitting in my room with guitar or at the piano or something.

Yes, we three were so happy, my wife, my guitar and me!

I don’t read music; I taught myself guitar.

I get a feeling, on a guitar, and I sort of mess around until something resonates with me, and then I just find that what happens is that a melody comes, and with that, words.
