solid they may be indeed...

shiny gold may be dull, cold platinum may not warm the heart, antibacterial silver may not kill the blues, but they are reassuringly solid

but...

every try to EAT them?

my friend's sister in San Diego has over 2 million dollars worth of silver and gold in her safe at her home.

of course, when you possess such a treasure much of your life and emotional energy is consumed in protecting it from thieves who "break in and steal."

and should times necessitate she exchange her gold for food it would not surprise me to see those who have supposed gold to VALUABLE find themselves willing to exchange large sums of it for small sums of bread.

i would not in a million years wish to be in a city such as Hong Kong or New York where i work to gain a fiat currency (or gold) in order to exchange it for Black Angus and grapes raised on the other side of the continent.

i would prefer to be close to the fields from which all the bounties of life that i truly need AND ENJOY come from (do you know ANYBODY that ENJOYS gold?).

you can have the concrete jungles. i will visit them on occasions - but that's all.
