<<But what if the Government needs to build an Interstate High Way or Railroad Tracks, which would benefit the vast majority of its citizens? >>

Then you where do you stand on these many land grabs whose only purpose is the Clinton Legacy?

<<why don't you get a black belt in Karate?>>

The Martial Arts training didn't help a runner of late in Boulder against the Cougar. While you opf the east don't wish to believe or understand the "wild west" it is the wild from which we often need protect ourselves, not man.

<<But the Capitalistic System here is Free and it is held in high esteem by the vast majority of people all over the World. >>

Were it really free, the margin requirements would be the same short or long. How is this "economic reality" except the inmates are running....

You claim you want a free market without subsidy? How can you support the anti-hording call against Sumimoto in the copper market? Is this not simply a subsidy to the home & plane builders?

You want to kill all subsidies? Kill the subsidy to Fannie & Freddie! Allow the same margin requirements for the longs & the shorts alike or it is just another subsidy but for the bankers instead of the miners!

I guess many here think when I call for a full & honest accounting of US Gold reserves by outside firms(or the GAO in the very least, I'm just calling for a subsidy for accountants????
