It is soaring in regard to WHAT? Look at the big picture - ok so it goes up in worthless paper - what is that really DOING for you? If I buy a gold coin now - will I be able to trade for 100x the amount of oranges I get for one now a short time in the future? I bet I won't. If I buy a gold coin now - will I be able to get 100X the amount of hookers I get for one now? I bet not. If I buy a gold coin now - will I be able - insert your own daily want or need. So WHAT if gold goes up in worthless clown bucks - if the prices for all those other wants and needs goes up in worthless clown bucks too - you haven't gotten WEALTHIER - it is a TRICK. In zimbabwe - prices for a haircut have went up thousands of percent. 2100% Message 22086774 Now if you get haircuts like I do - and gold goes up in worthless clown bucks say 500% a year - but haircuts go up 2100% guess what silly boy - you got POORER - even though you horded shiny metal - see the forest tooearly - not the trees! Just like saying HEY dow 11K - AWESOME - what shit - dow 11K in 2006 is NOTHING like dow 11K in 2000 before inflation and debased money - don't be fooled TOOEARLY. Trees - not forest - prices of hookers, oranges, haircuts - think of those trees when all you want to see is price of gold going up in worthless currencies. We reward people for doing things for us - making things for us - hording gold - that is nothing special and you wont get my oranges or daughter for a few shiny metals - you better do something a lot more USEFUl for me to get my oranges and daughters.

You know what I think about goldbugs - i think they are LAZY. And capitalism rewards HARD PRODUCTIVE workers right - not lazy people? Isn't that how the mechanics of it work? The ones who stay productive get the wealth of society - the lazy folks who sit on thier asses and don't add any more value in society are squeezed off until they starve or die? I think Goldbugs expect one day in the future to come and take my oranges for thier gold because they walked over to a coin shop one day singing zippity do dah! Fat chance - it takes a lot of work growing the oranges in the orange groves - fighting the diseases and bugs and weather and hurricanes - lots of back breaking work in the sun sweating your baltz off fighting with the mexican work crew - HAHA - and you REALLY EXPECT some man that has done all that is gonna give you an ORANGE for a shiny metal he has no fundamental use or need for - when he can give that orange to his barber and get a 2100% inflationary haircut instead? R U NUTZ? You know what is going to be valuable in the future - your oranges in the supermarket - the energy that makes your car go and AC flow - the tv show - the late night ho - the same as it ever was. All you silly capitalists - dont you hear your leaders saying we are gonna DRAIN THE SWAMP - well guess what - YOU are part of the swamp - some of that wealth they are gonna drain away is IN YOUR POCKET TOO - but you think you can walk over to the coin shop and BEAT THE SYSTEM - that they will drain every other capitalists wealth but YOURS - we will see. I thought capitalism rewarded those who met the needs and wants of society - if society wants drugs, hookers, tv, food, the people that work and produce and service in those areas are gonna have a lot more WEALTH than a guy that sang zippity do dah while he walked over to the coin shop for some shiny metal. Who do you Value more? Your local coin shop or your local gas station, doctor, dentist, barber, grocery market (wegmans if your are grace), etc etc etc - quit being a silly boy - wake up! You know I like some good shrimp - I would pay far more gold coin or paper dollar for good healthy tasting shrimp than a lot of other things in life. I imagine over the course of my lifetime - I will have spent far more on shrimp than most anything else in my life. Now you are telling me - those shrimp guys - they will give me tons of shrimp for a gold coin a short time in the future if I just go sing zippity do dah and walk over to the coin shop. They won't need me to cut their hair, fix thier teeth, repair their computer, fix thier engine, none of that - all I will have to do for thier shrimp is go buy a gold coin and give it to them - that is such shit. If you are productive in the future - you will be rewarded with the things you consume from other producers - as the system dictates - if you are a non productive silly boy that dug holes in his backyard for shiny metal - all the gold in babylon is not going to get you what you want. What are people going to want and need in the future? This logic scares the shit out of lazy people and old people who cant compete anymore - they want to believe and be told they can do something now that will gaurantee their shrimp in the future - well sorry - that aint the way the laws of nature work - as the pop singer once said in her song "what have you done for me lately?" You wanna give me some shrimp, a haircut, your daughter, you get my orange, you wanna make me laugh and entertain me like chen does - you get my orange - you wanna give me shiny metal that is gonna sit up in my closet and collect dust - you dont get my orange - simple.
