<<Some make decisions purely on principle.>> From The Declaration of Independence "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor. " Is it valid we also remember another quote from that document?: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,..." Is any liberty more basic than that of a free market? The idea of "fair market", friends, is not valid, as one would first have to answer "fair to whom?". That for which we ask is rather a free market. This alone should draw to our side even those against gold, as if any part of the free market process can become so corrupted as to allow the manipulation of both the supply and the demand, then just how long until their own market place is so rigged and manipulated against their very existence? Can any single Freedom exist in a vacuum? Can the request for a free market forever remain only a request, or will one day(soon) another group of patriots arise ready to martyr their profits, nay their principal for a higher principle. You may friends follow me, I've signed the document, and sold the issues of several I find in the wrong position.
