russett, Those who read this thread and do not post on it represent the audience I am posting to, not you. Much more effective this way than I putting out "words of wisdom" without that connection I spoke about, where to understand a position one needs a point of reference so that a comparison can be made. You indeed supply the empty negative null type of thinking and attitude that represents a view that one should accept what those in charge has delivered to you. The success or failure of GATA I predicted long ago will be determined thru the political arena and justice system, not the economic system. Eventhought the justice system has a set of rules and conditions that must be followed, a path to the courts will be ok'ed or not thru the political structure which is influenced thru fear of the election votes of the people at the booths. So its the people you speak of that are not aware, as in not concerned, that will decide the outcome. GATA's focus is not directly towards them, but its indirect path to the people will be delivered in the best way using the current methods of Bill Murphy. Doug

Hello Russett. Have to agree with a lot that you say however in one of your replies to Doug you said referring to gold " You can't eat it. It doesn't help the poor eat or get shelter." I believe it was just a year or so ago that South Korea's economy and currency was in serious trouble and gold played a role in getting this country back on its feet. True you can't eat it but in times when paper currencies collapse you can trade it for food or shelter. You said " Over half the world lives day to day looking for a few scraps of food to live another day. They could care less for this gold crap, and will never buy any during their short miserable lives.". From what I have read India has a fair number of very poor people yet this country is the single largest consumer of gold. IMO this is because the poorest of the people still believe in the value of gold as a means of storing what little wealth they may have. Maybe they have more experience with paper money failures than we in the modern countries have. Take care Lorne
