  But money does have value. It has as much value as anything it will buy,
no?  
   Also: you state that we cannot have inflation with no money. But, then, I ask,
why is it that you only measure prices (which are what inflate, in 
inflation) in money? Why not in other goods? In fact, is that not how
we benchmark money itself, through things like the CPI, which is a
bacxxx basket of goods?
[By the way, I'd like to apologize for the apalling job I am doing
