Thursday, October 19, 2006  Legal Battles and the People Who
Fight Them  On the subject of the current challenge facing the
Liberty Dollar, I agree with the sentiment of a recent poster to
ALD-forum who said: Its obvious that someone has to volunteer to
become the legal guinea pig and stage an official drop with
media present, challenging the government to arrest and charge.
When nobody shows up to arrest, the media can call bullshit on
the Mint's claims. If they do arrest, we'll have a legal circus
to promote the LD, with an eventual aquittal that will be even
more powerful. Someone willing and able to fight that battle is
probably going to have to take it to court in order to remove
the threat that the US mint has left hanging over our heads
('our' being ALD users) although the mint might buckle under
public pressure if the latest strategy from NORFED is picked up
by enough people. That remains to be seen.  But then he goes on
to add this little proviso: This is how all big legal cases are
set up. Rosa Park
