Good analogy Adam, I like your analysis.

From your currency exchange examples, it certainly does appear to be considerably easier.
so the problem must be honesty. People want to be told that they
are getting something for free, when their money is being silently taken
hand over fist. That sounds remarkably like the prevailing model of government,
in fact.
OK, I don't quite follow you on the "honesty" conclusion here. I understand your point about the free lunch syndrome, but I don't see how either the foreign currency exchanges or the e-gold exchanges are hiding or sugar-coating anything. It seems like the surcharges are made pretty clear in both cases.
Perhaps the people objecting to the e-gold inexchange fees are simply not accustomed to HAVING to change currencies, and resent having to do so because they still feel like they're in America without realizing that they are actually venturing into a trans-national or non-national currency-land, and must therefore face exchange fees just as they would if they were traveling to Europe.
I really like your analogy with foreign currency exchange.
