- Money is one of the hardest things to think clearly about that I know. I assume you mean fiat money. I have no problem thinking straight about gold. Its long term future is very clear in my mind.

What works for me is purchasing power. If I want to maintain my purchasing power, the last thing I want to own right now is the dollar or dollar-denominated financial assets. Relative values change. Last year, owning Japanese financial assets paid off despite some weakness in the yen: finance.yahoo.com In the future, US stocks and bonds and the dollar itself are all likely to slide in relation to gold and foreign financial assets, financial instruments and commodities. That makes the dollar the place to flee from. And fleeing from the dollar cannot possibly do anything but depress its trading value.

"I think that stratification of U. S. society in terms of wealth and privilege is among the things that the Bush administration has aimed at" I concur completely -- it's not a coincidence that the Red/pro-slavery states are those of the old Confederacy/aristocracy. Lincoln smashed it in 1863-5, but now it has clawed its way back and it has the big army this time.
