Joel, I follow and occasionally participate in this thread's discussion and always enjoy the banter.
However I cannot stay silent in face of that lame statement on the gold site you just referenced.
Although it is quite clearly possible China does something stupid regarding Taiwan and it could happen anytime
I simply cannot help but laugh at the introduction of North Korea as a factor. They are starving. The
reference to publication "Human Events" introduces a sadly misguided view of the world from an extreme right wing perspective, reminiscent of the McCarthy era rhetoric that we still here in the US have not lived down,
much to our shame. I will buy into a gold conspiracy on the part of central banks, governments passing off the offal
of their fiat currencies, and even the eventual conflict of US and China as valid points of concern and dialogue.
But the segue from this doubtful China contention into an exhortation to 'hold your Y2K gold' is patently
comic. No wonder we on this thread are often objects of ridicule for our paranioa, however justified.
To venture a comment somewhat below the bar set for usual level of discussion on this thread, I dare to say
"Human Events" is trash.
