I have no reason whatsoever to stop anyone digging gold if they want to. I play golf, which is about as useful, and if they want to play gold and me golf, that's just the difference between a d and an f. Let's not get religious about hobbies. <But beyond a skillful propaganda effort against the idea of "gold as wealth" how would you accomplish your "logical" effort to suppress gold ownership? Governmental coercion or forced confiscation? > I don't think governments have a role in gold or golf. I have no idea why you think there is logic in me suppressing gold ownership. I prefer your last suggestion: <OTOH you could clearly make a sort of "secular" counterargument that as all human effort serves no real higher purpose "digging up everything" to find gold is as valid an activity as any other.> Each to their own, but I think nature is merciless and those who spend too long on futile occupations are likely to be removed from the gene pool. Gold mining isn't really fun, unlike golf. It's unpleasant hard work which doesn't even pay all that well. It's futility in action. Nature abhors futility worse than a vacuum and eliminates it from the gene pool. Note the lack of Aztecs wearing gold hats and chopping beating hearts out of young women. Nature determined that the process was pointless, counterproductive and not needed. Mqurice

We are getting there, Slage! Sweet energy Stan Switkes BOYNTON BEACH Posted September 17 2005 Thank you, South Florida Sun-Sentinel, for your article on Brazil's new energy source. Attention, President Bush: Brazil has committed thousands of acres to planting sugar cane. It is harvested and converted to ethanol. Forty percent of auto gasoline is now running on this simple solution for alternative fuels. President Bush's address to the public stating it will take years to solve our energy crisis is shortsighted and does not solve our immediate needs at the gas pumps. Please dial Brazil's energy department and get the formula for their success. A great plus would be for our farmers, who are paid not to grow certain crops. They can now harvest crops of sugar cane and come to the aid of our country's most urgent needs for energy
