Doug, Life is a 2 way street, a mutual process of give and take. I've asked you a number of questions in some of my recent posts to you, which have gone unanswered.
I live in the real world, where one hand washes another, where you get only if you give.
<Any kind of gold backing would limit the quantity of funny money printed>
Sure, but in the awareness of a limit, I'm already in that awareness beyond the limit. What makes Gold less funny than fiat?
The more fiat is backed by Gold, the more it limits growth. Now you know where some of the Gold Bears and CB's are coming from.
I always put myself in the position to understand where the other side is coming from, not from my point of view so I can belittle it, as you do, but from inside the consciousness of the other's point of view because I Respect and Love the Other as long as they are humane. I realize that is a politically incorrect position to take, but I possess the humility and the desire to Learn, which is MY GOD and that determines my orientation.
PS I'm interested in a free open exchange of ideas, not a politically correct exchange or thread. |
