<<Everything matters now.>>
Bill,
Got a very nice personal letter from my Senator, Wayne Allard, where
he told me he did not agree with the idea that our Federal Reserve had manipulated the price of gold, BUT did forward my E'mail to them and request(firmly) they respond to me & send a copy to his office.
At least the question is becoming public. We are no longer "nuts" for thinking something is wrong.

Thank you (more than you will ever know) for returning to me some degree of sanity. We all know "sanity" is not determined by what one person believes rather, how society views those beliefs and ideas. When it is only one person he can be dismissed (with ease) as insane. When there two or three which believe the same thing it is considered an "odd group delusion". When only a few hundred hold these very same thoughts sacred, the belief becomes a "movement".

In our world the beliefs of entire movement can not be dismissed out of hand, and the first few "nuts" who held faith in these tenets are elevated to a status of "guru". Though I did not want or expect the prestige of a guru, it would be great to be considered something other than "nuts" and maybe even break even and be able to get another decent job. You see, my friend, no one will even hire one viewed as a "delusional psychotic", no matter if he is really zealot or inspired.
