Stupidity, ignorance; or crime

1 To argue that FRTs are the same AS money, or dollars of silver or gold, isn’t always a sign of ignorance or stupidity.

2 Sometimes it is evidence of crime. Here’s why.

3 If you tricked someone into accepting an expired coupon for shortening, in exchange for a gallon of gasoline, convincing the gasoline salesman that your coupon was the same as shortening, you would have perpetrated theft by fraud.

4 Similarly, those who willfully assert that FRTs are dollars — or are the same as gold or silver coin or the same as money — and thereby trick us into giving up our property in exchange for expired coupons — also commit theft by fraud.
