Okay, it's been a successful endeavor but the window is closing soon. No further XPM purchases will be made after 3/31/2016 so if you want to sell or use your primecoin, you'll need to find another method after that date.

Just to let you guys know I'm still buying

Absolutely true in NY and LA and I suspect in other major US cities! Sanitation workers, plumbers, electricians, bus drivers and construction workers all rank higher than police. We should be thankful that there are guys like Soros willing to put their money on the line to fund civil rights. Yes, it is self interest that motivates this act but it would be easier to not do anything and many people well off live exactly this way, letting all the authoritative abuses go unchecked.

I don't know the world stats on this but here in the US, being a police officer has the lowest probabiity of injury of all blue collar jobs. Thirty years ago, they were comfortably in the middle of the pack and sixty years ago they were in the top five. Could this be because they are paying less attention to our civil liberties when they perform their function? I don't like the idea of any law officer carrying a weapon when the civilians don't have one and yes, when the injuries of the unarmed apprehended are statistically astronomically higher and more severe than the armed officials making the arrests, it is a strong indication that there is less police 'work' than vicimization.

Thanks you for saying what I would have said. The only thing I would add is that there needs to be a method of checking accumulation of any store of value decided upon by all because without that, it is fundamentally as flawed as what is in use today. I have other posts that explain why and those interested should read them. Does anyone here see any obvious faults in the guidelines I presented above for an ideal currency?

It is scarcity that causes desperation and all other manner of ills. I submit this scarcity is a manufactured one. When every avenue that you take to improve your well being only results in others being enriched by your efforts and this is the only mode over generations, the world has a problem. You have to ask yourself if it okay for one person to accumulate enough wealth to purchase the labor of 140,000,000 men (or women) for a year and then ask yourself if it is okay for a small group of people with this wealth to meet outside the jurisdiction of your sovereign government to plot the means to subject all to their will. You have accepted the reported police account as completely truthful. It is historically a dangerous thing to be complacent about the trust we place in those that rule us. You are probably a victim of too many hours in front of network television and you need to correct this. Read what you can about Bilderberg and try to understand better the root causes of the scarcity first, then think about what it would be like to grow up without means, the benefit of parental guidance and societal scorn of your impoverished situation. Once you've done that, tell me if you still believe what has happened in Ferguson is acceptable. Even the simple act of getting dressed in the morning is a complicated exercise for too many people and that complicates everything else. If you don't believe me, try the following experiment:
Live just one month without the benefit of a clothes dryer (I won't ask you to give up the the washing machine 'cuz it might cause a divorce) and tell us what you learned. I have other experiments that concern diet that would be even more telling but we can start with the less challenging dearthful situation.

You don't see a correlation when the citizenry have their constitutional rights blatantly violated and martial law is enacted without due cause? You have no problem with a youth getting shot for a cigar but you can sit idly and watch your money get 'bailed in' by legislation bought by banksters!? Dude, you need a serious value system check. I'm hoping you're reading and understanding better, picolo. You need to focus your anger on the cause and not the symptom.

This is a false premise you have been indoctrinated with. Extreme wealth is not a product of great contribution but of an extraction process. If you don't understand this as the new reality, you will never fully understand the manufactured hardships/nuisances in your life. Extreme poverty mutes the vitality of a population, inhibits competition and progress and endangers everyones safety and well being. When you remove the ability to compete, you create rent takers and not innovators.I never said complete equality was possible or even desirable. Advantages must be given to the most able because without a reward system, there is no impetus for progress but it must be checked before it becomes what it has become today, a compendium of shadowy oligarchs doing as they will and perverting every democracy. Have you really considered the state of the world today?

When all those 'network' activities are identified, recorded and available for sale we can safely say we are moving in the wrong direction.

You're focussing on the wrong thing. Minorities are not the only victimized people and events are happening that will eventually touch even you in just as serious a way if you haven't experienced it already. Fergusen is just the beginning of the New World Order and you shouldn't ignore it just because you happen to dislike the people it is happening to because the final outcome would have our founding fathers rolling in their graves.

I am setup to exchange USD only so no payments in BTC to primecoin sellers.

Nice spike in this coin. You may want to sell now.

Is it possible one might not be able to improve because one really is being victimized?

It depends upon where the limits are placed. How much more valuable should one human being be than another? This is the philosophical question that all of us need to settle within ourselves before we can move forward as a species. Once you have wealth enough to ensure sufficient comfort for yourself, your progeny and theirs, all other accumulations are about power and/or some other perniciousness.

This is the result of the anti-gun laws but not their original purpose. The people need to enact legislation to prohibit gun carrying by the police.

There are ways to fix this world and the first step is to attack the root cause of oppression. I have some ideas on how this can be done in this thread.

Governments are like parents. When they're good they can make life alot easier for everyone but when they're bad, well, we have history to instruct us. The problem we have nowadays is that even if good people get into a position to govern, they don't have the power. That power has been usurped by mulitnational interests who have found an end around the democratic process and have taken the sovereignty from the people who fought for it. Indeed, they now instigate the wars when it suits them in their pursuit of the new world order. The banks are only one of the vehicles in this process but perhaps the most critical to correct. The best way to correct the banks is to compete with their currency and the direction taken so far is the right one but widespread, global adoption is critical and mechanisms must be in place to assure that this cryptocoin does not just become another evil. I believe this is achievable and have suggested a current coin on which to model after or build upon. Here are the features this new coin should have:
1. Limits on accumulation.
2. High efficiency for both transactions and network loads.
3. A useful function like maintaining a cryptographic library of all the worlds documents.
4. An unerasable audit trail of transactions and a built in mechanism for public policy decision making.
These are the top priority characteristics for a currency that can fix the world. There are many ways to mess these up in their implementation but if done properly, humanity can be saved many of its currently manufactured ills. It should be obvious to most reading here why the feature list above is critical but if anyone needs a clarification of what these features will address, the discussion herein is likely to bring them to light. I will certainly do my part.

The very fact that it is so low profile makes it fail the requirement specified here. As far as its philanthropy is concerned, how are the 'good deeds' arbitrated?

The offer to purchase @ $0.35 is only 281 coins now. Someone saw the arbitrage opportunity here

I'm glad you see it the same way. Read below and tell me what you think.

I looked into Writcoin and it has some interesting features but its distribution and other characteristics make it less than ideal. We need to develop something new but not launch it until there is true mass participation. We need a very long hype period where just about everyone knows about it before it is launched. Any people without steady access to computers at the time of launch will be allowed to register to participate via email where they can be assigned to a philanthropic benefit mining pool. Information about all holders of this coin will be in a database encrypted by all participating computers. Funding for this pool and its maintenace will be assigned to a vote of all participants. There will be an event within the next few years that will make people eager for an alternative currency and this coin should be ready for launch when this happens. As I understand it, there is already a Scottish enterprise which has a coin that provides a document encryption protection scheme so we have a model to follow or a platform to develop upon.

RodeoXExactly! When there are more competitors for labor the probability of gainful employment rises and so does social mobility (aka, freedom).

This is becoming less true daily and could change immediately with a few pen strokes.

Currency can not regulate consumption when it is unregulated. Where is your say in how much money is created to circulate? With the power to create currency in the hands of so few, all asset prices can be dictated and any asset can be controlled. The problem with central banks is one big part of all we need to address. President JFK was the last to try and Lincoln before him had partially succeeded with his greenbacks. Jackson was the only past leader to take them on and win. If his soul is bearing witness to the state of affairs today, he is suffering.
