Mike; I don't know, but the talk of Governments selling gold may not be such a bad thing. If they want to talk architecture why not just out law Governments & banks owning gold, & get them out of the gold business all together. If we let people own all the gold, it could curtail government manipulation, the market or "people would set the gold price" relative to what currencies trade for & with out government or big bank intervention. It's Just a wild thought , and something tahts still turning over in my mind, but why have anything like a gold standard and all that crap the right wing keeps clattering for, why not let it float completely on it's own. On the one hand the right wing want's a free market, and also a gold standard, but the two can't go hand in hand , "power to the people" and let a free market set the price of gold, get government out of it.
