"The people can never have a seat in government; only the king can rule." -- England, pre-Magna Carta.

"Black people can never be free citizens." -- America, pre-Civil War

"Women can never have the right to vote." -- America, pre-19th Amendment

"[Insert one of dozens of countries here] can never be an independent country; the British Empire will reign." -- all over the world until the mid 20th century

"Gay people can never marry." -- America, a few years ago

So, what does history tell us? That features of society evolve, and things that seem impossible can become possible because people with a conscience decide to make the right thing happen. Who's to say that a more ethical type of money is impossible or can never happen?

And if it were a scam, why would the people involved be using their real names?
