Dear General, it is terribly frustrating to ask you a simple question about the phoenix and get zero answer.
Spock once said to captain kirk he never understood the female ability to avoid giving a direct answer to any question - you are not female so what is the problem? ;)
Please tell me what you thought of the Chalmers Johnson interview about his new book Nemesis. What do you think of his ideas on keynesian militarism?
i found out what happens when well-equiped and brave folks youtube.com do this patriotic act youtube.com to visibly defenseless taxi driver;
Young kids thought they had found thieves, you constantly preach if taxi driver had shiny lumps of metal in his pocket he could have gave it to the young kids who had the big tank and they would have let him go - you have provided videos that I think show how silly your "gold" meme is. I doubt if the taxi driver had a few gold coins the young kids in the tank would have done anything differently - save they would have took his gold coins and claimed he had stolen them. Please make me and the other open minded people here on this forum understand how that taxi driver having a few gold coins in his pocket would have kept his car from being crushed?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uV-05i6InHo is the eventual outcome, done by apparently fairly committed terrorist folks youtube.com;
Not able to view these, they say they are adult oriented and need extra special log in info to view and I must prove I am over 18 - I am a 5th grader and my innocent mind probably can't handle their gruesome nastiness. Can you tell me what the videos show?
now, one trillion dollars gone (on topic, about epic bond bubble :0), you do not have a trillion oranges, and gold quantity stayed constant
I do not have a trillion oranges - but thanks to the almost unlimited energy of the sun, with time trillions upon trillion of oranges can be grown. How does a world of man that is growing mesh well with a constant money supply that is not? You still fail in your logic, you still feel that the trick is in keeping the money honest - that is not the solution. Even gold money in a world of crooks and liars is not going to save you. The trick is getting honest men and ethical people in this world who think rationally and scientifically, then the money won't matter. I promise you however from now til the end of eternity if people like you keep advocating HONEST gold money without changing the fundamental problem of crooks and liars and pigmen and the evil they do - nothing will ever really change. It begins to sadden me that you never seem able to make this leap of logic - honest money didn't save civilizations of the past just like it won't of the present or future - the problem is not the money - the problem is the evil in man's heart. Honest money does not turn a bad man good - you are trying to treat the symptoms dear General, not cure the disease.
the eventual biblical outcome of the epic war is certainly uncertain
Well you see on news big mushroom cloud in israel and iran, what do you do? Is this the world you want coconut to grow up in? Where she can have a few gold coins in her pocket but some young kids in the tank think she has stolen some wood so they run over her car and take her gold coins because they see her as a thief?
fiat dollars can be counted on to do the fruitful thing and multiply, orange land will be taxed to extinction, and yet, gold, will be there when one needs it
You fail to make any progress with your thinking or logic, the same people that can come and put guns in my face to make me pay orange taxes can also put gun in gold hoarders face to hand over his shiny metal. Iraqi taxi drivers car would have been crushed wether he had shiny lumps of metal or not - they thought he was a thief and they had the big guns and tanks - he had a few rocks - the tank wins as I have been saying for years now.

Chalmers talked about gold money, he talked about fleeing to new zealand or vancouver, he talked about the end of empire and the 727 military bases spanning the globe. He talked of secret budgets and citizens unable to check on their government any longer and taxpayers being bamboozled. I still believe if things are so bad in south florida that the only way for me to live is to give a thug in a tank some gold coins, it is going to be over everywhere globally. Your gold meme is dependant on property rights and justice and rule of law still being enforced, if collapse comes as you predict - those things are all going out the window. |
