Ron, I respect your mental ability and still think that you are just misguided through a desire to fullfill and deliver into reality what you are capable of. To know of one's potential and be situated in an environment that prevents it's utilization, is just being in the wrong place. For example there are many men and women today that have the desire and ability for world class greatness, but some live in rural farming only locations like deep inside China that have no use for their ability. I once met such a person that had no schooling, no studies in math science history because he was not taught how to read. His brain's thinking ability was at the top of the top. He only understood thru observations that he was quicker than others in his community to react to external events, but this was not useful in the farming of grain which took up most of the time and concerns the community had as that was their main activity. He did not feel a lacking or being denied a follow through in his mental ability. Actually his importance was average since his physical ability was average. Now you Ron, in you quest to go to that place, has deal you a bad hand, and it is yourself that has deal you those bad cards. Like a business that does not do it correctly, for ever order taken they deliver a product, where the customer pays $25 for an item, and it cost the business $33 to deliver the item. This business loses money on each sale, and the more sales as in the better the business is able to increase sales, the more they lose. So, if they sell no product, they have no income, but selling a product gives they a negative income, a lost. And the more they sell, the more they lose. Like your posts Ron, the more you post the more you dig yourself deeper into that hole of being wrong. Your last 2 posts Ron are those of someone who reconizes that others are responding to your ability to deliver answers and wisdom of a learned person as being the opposite of what would be if it was true. So please Ron its as if you are the last one to know, to know that your posts are feeding onto themselves, that you deliver nonsense in a post and rather obtain this status you counter the opposite with another post to show and prove that the post in question was not false or missing the mark, with more of the same stuff. Trying to turn an incorrect view into a correct one through an addition layer of incorrect infomation is a path to a popped bubble. This post of mine to you is not a personal attack but me wishing to help you brak out of that cycle that deepens your status as one who will not admit being wrong and adds more wrongness and just increases you status more in the wrong direction. You have reached a point that you have cycled over and over too many times the same incorrect views that you have obtained and labeled correct, eventhought they are wrong, that you are showing signs of frustration with yourself, eventhought you will not admit that and show it as frustration towards others for not accepting your views. Soon Ron the GATA Effect will prove all your views as those being incorrect. Will be harder for you then to swallow and accept. Do it now please. Regards and I wish you well and a quick recovery. Doug

<The problem that you and so many other gold standard enthusiasts seem to suffer under is the delusion that artificially setting a value on a physical object will solve the world's economic ills.> Actually, I'm not a 'gold standard enthusiast'... I don't give a rats ass if we have one or not. Know why?? Because as long as one can compare a currency to gold [ie. gold trades freely], people have the option to hold gold if they don't trust the currency. What more could one ask for. The reason I continue to post in response to you're anti-gold standard ravings is that there is NO reason we couldn't have a gold standard if we wanted one, we had one and could do it again. You're the one who seems very dogmantic about the whole thing. The rest of your post is the same old drivel about how gold would 'hold the economy back' in some way... where in reality that's horsepucky. No one says you would have to hold gold/$ constant just because they used to, you just use these old examples as to why it's 'impossible' or 'ludicrous'. In addition, you are missing one of your most potent arguements for dismissing the gold standard... ie. we currently have 'the dollar standard'... all other currencies are measured against the dollar... if they free fall, everyone knows, and can see, just like the olden days with gold. Good currencies drive out bad, etc. The dollar standard has worked the way the gold standard used to. All gold standard supporters are worried about is their own government screwing everything up [one could argue they have already, and it's just a matter of a small loss of $ confidence to spiral out of contol... ie. set things off]. Hell Ron, we could go on the 'Rock Standard', but I'm afraid mining companies would have a price on your freakin head!!! So, in sum, do you want the U.S. government in control of the money supply... in complete control of 'policy makers'?? Gold standard people don't. DAK
