gregor, in my opinion you did not overstep in expressing your stand that life cannot be chopped up into little pieces and dealt with without regard to all else that exists.
The only people that do not understand that the fight against evil is a task to be engaged in at all times are those that have chosen to take the other side of good, or those that have a psychosis condition formed before or after birth. I have the qualifications to determine the latter, and the belief they require our help, as they cannot decide between right and wrong. But the former we have to deal with, and if the playing field is not level, then we have that as out task.
It is in this spirit that I created this thread, to take the view that evil and misguided people have have controlled the price of gold and prevented the following.
<<only the very necessities of life are promised to us shelter, food, and clothes. Anything else we might accumulate is only by God's goodness and grace.>>
My focus is not the rich like Billionair Bill Gates as a problem, but that millions of people have/is/will be denied the above of shelter, food, and clothes.
This thread is about the Price Of Gold, and to me if this is addressed in an economic and legal manner, seperated from all other considerations, that to me the end result that I wish will be accomplished.
I say let words and actions speak for themselves, and let those who post on this thread present ideas in a manner seperate from their own faith and held beliefs, and only focus on the role that gold has to influence economic conditions with the understanding that economic conditions are viewed as how we all live as a community on this planet Earth. Focus on how the role of gold determines how each person receives their shelter, food, and clothes.
<<Your discourse on evil and good centers around the spiritual realm.>>
Yes, but on this thread I wish it to be done in a pragmatic way, for all who post on this thread to focus on the cause and effect relationship of gold, or a gold standard or reserve, for fiat money.
The time frame is included in the name of this thread, as in the present, and the focus is present day economic and political conditions that may or may not have a gold influence.
The following questions and comments that you included in you post are understood to be very relevant to this threads dealing with a Hannibal reference, and my then follow thru of a good verse evil struggle that has always been part of history, and continues on today. But as you are aware, if these are used to explain or justify arguments for or against gold, then the task at hand to take action thru GATA, the Gold Anti Trust Action Committee of Bill Murphy & Le Metropole Cafe (.com) will not be realized and talk rather than action will at present not get the job that now needs to be accomplished, and soon.
So I ask please that the following not be addressed on this thread, and my position taken from joining SI is that I have not identified anything about myself as pertains to religion, work profession or education. The only personal info I placed onto SI threads are that my grandparents all came from Poland, my age 54, served in military with Marines 67-69 Vietnam as a foot soldier rank corporal upon exit.
I do not do Private SI communication, nor e-mail or Instant exchanges.
And I realllllllllly get hot under the collar when one does a LOL to another without a attached.
