<go buy a piece of gold, any gold, and fondle it, feel its power, sense its destiny, appreciate its beauty, and answer its calling ... achamchen.com; And send another guy down a mine to crunch some rock, just for me to fondle gold and recall times gone by? I prefer to send a guy into cyberspace to crunch some code and create a future we can all only imagine. I do, strangely, have a magnetic attraction to gold and your suggestion, but felt it more powerfully when much younger. Now, the desire is more like the rest of my younger days. A time of relative ignorance, fondly recalled, but a time gone by and new things to do. Peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity and longevity are needed more badly than another lump of gold dug from Earths crust. CDMA can create that. Gold can't. Gold is like the Easter Island heads. They keep everyone busy digging them out of rock and moulding them to shape. Everyone can admire them. But they essentially just sit there, doing nothing. They can't put food on the table, clothes on the back, SUVs in the driveway, aircraft in the sky or deliver reality through cyberspace to anyone, anywhere. I'm staying out in the rapids, paddling like hell, going with the flow, avoiding the vortices, sliding past the rocks, taking my chances, having too much fun to stop on the bank and watch time go by, going nowhere, just frozen in time, safe but going nowhere. True, if the river is like that one I saw going over a cliff at Niagara, I'm better to walk along the bank. But I'm keeping an eye out for any disappearing flow. Mqurice PS If it's time to head for the hills, I reserve my right to be first to panic and buy a LOT of gold, silver and anything else which I can hoard while I hide from the maelstrom. Any arguments I might have made to the contrary, I reserve the right to rescind.
