3/Jackson believed that ONLY the government should be allowed to deal with money supply, not banks or any other entity: so what about bitcoins?
At the time that was the safest, fairest option. Now there is an even better option for that power to be out of the hands of any elite group.
If Jackson ever said anything about "dealing with money supply", rest assured that it meant a completely different thing back then. The law gave them power to "coin money and regulate the value thereof", which means that they could lawfully fix the silver:gold ratio.

Of course those elite groups will continue to try to form and seize power from the masses even when they claim to be doing so in the best interests of said little people.
This, for example, is an abominable flaunting of that intention in my opinion:

Major announcement: There is a new private bitcoin forum online. If you belong to the top contributors here, please PM and I will send you an invitation. Finally a place to take the discussion to a new level! 
No vacancies currently, thank you

What do you find annoying? That finally somebody (Goat) takes action with something as lowly as a forum? Or that I cannot let hordes of unknown people in? Do you know that we may instate entrance exams?
The good thing with the ass-reaming by Mt.Gox is that when it blows up, it will hopefully either wholly do away also with the Bitcoin Foundation and all the gang that is under gag orders there, OR liberate the said people and make the Bitcoin economy functional again.
Surely you may set up your own forum with any "top contributors" you are able to amass
We are discussing about how to organize so as to gain more freedom (by distribution of work, pooling of resources, presenting a united front where applicable) than what we lose (by going so low as to actually regard our fellow bitcoiners as our tribe and taking it upon ourselves to really coordinate with them, naturally only in minor aspects and based on purely individualistic decision by each and every participant in each and every time - did I mention voluntarily?)ADD: If this strikes as interesting to you and want to participate, there are others who grant access. Just find one of them!
