In that I think Wildcat is similar to the arguments we developed in Midnight 
Notes (respect your enemies) - tho there are indeed a variety of differences. 
I should be able to soon circulate a piece from friends in Notes arguing 
against the currency position -- which frankly makes not much sense to me, 
tho I too cannot claim any great knowledge there.

One point on euro: to play the role the dollar has, the euro will have to 
prove its stability -- in the sense that it will survive the inevitable 
economic tensions of the confederation (at best) behind the euro. It could 
fall apart.
