RE: Doug Casey << it adds to the reputation of goldbugs as windmill tilters and conspiracy buffs. >> I think DC has it right. The lunatic fringe constantly predicting $1000 gold, economic collaspe, and the end of the world make all goldbugs looks like kooks. Some of us reluctant to be called goldbugs just happen to like gold, enjoy its history, beauty, mining, and making a few dollars along the way (without suing when we lose a few dollars)

Ram, In the spirit of freedoms of speech & press & thought & the right to protect oneself from those who wish to prevent these freedoms or take them away, we need not worry about certain types of persons that only follow pathways created by evil ones that have a look and feel of correctness and properness to give those who know not how to test that correctness and properness exist in truth so that they will not be lead down false paths created by those who wish to deny correctness and properness for all. Sometimes it easier to give an example, and i submit Bob's reply to your post as it clearly shows using Bob's words that he is not a gold bug "where it counts", but only a person that like physical gold as a hobby or investmint. Following Bob's post is where a real gold bug exist. Also, Miss Daisy's ability to obtain cheap physical gold from both under and above Mother Earth has nothing to do with being a gold bug just like Bob "ain't there." The point i made at the start of this post can be made again here using a more direct method of simply saying that what Doug Casey or Bob Johnson or anyone else says about physical gold with making a connection to its use as a store of value to implemint a gold standard for fiat currency so that battles between Good v Evil do not result in total domination of bad and chaos etc. a.k.a. Don't concern yourself what these types say, they are just voice boxes and echos of ignorance. Find the source, that which leads these folks, as they are powerful thinkers with high ability and flawed reasoning, or just evil not born on Earth but sent from Hell directly replacing a birth. From: Bob Johnson I think Doug Casey has it right. The lunatic fringe constantly predicting $1000 gold, economic collaspe, and the end of the world make all goldbugs looks like kooks.

So why is it when gold bugs suspect a conspiracy, the become "conspiracy nuts", while every day we are shown Conspiracies DO EXIST? Tuesday April 03 07:11 AM EDT Sentence Begins for Nassau Dem Boss By Monte R. Young, Staff Writer Stephen Sabbeth, a Bronx native who became a wealthy businessman and head of the Nassau County Democratic Party, checked into the Allenwood Federal prison camp in Pennsylvania yesterday where his world for the next 7 years will consist of locked gates, little privacy and menial labor. "He will be told when to get up for breakfast, when to eat lunch, when to report to work, when to go to bed,” said Traci Billingsley, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Prisons in Washington. "His every move will be supervised daily.” Sabbeth, a large man who took pride in laying the groundwork for Nassau Democrats to make politics in the county a two-party game, was convicted of perjury, conspiracy, bankruptcy fraud and money laundering for hiding $750,000 in assets from creditors in the 1990 bankruptcy of his lumber company. Sabbeth is the latest in a lengthy line of noted Long Island political figures to serve time at Allenwood. dailynews.yahoo.com
