Sorry to hear about your brother. On <<we prize individualism above all else, the rights of the individual against the state>> ... recommend 321gold.com by greenspan <<American culture has never yet broken down so badly that gold was anything other than a pretty metal>> ... recommend civilwarhome.com "...Inflation affected both Northern and Southern assets but hit those of the Confederacy harder. Northern currency fluctuated in value, and at its lowest point $2.59 in Federal paper money equaled $1 in gold. The Confederate currency so declined in purchasing power that eventually $60-$70 equaled a gold dollar..." ... and ... lachlan.bluehaze.com.au ... and just read about what money actually was meant to be, in its true and pure form, per constitution that you do not care about so much any more.

CB, Sorry to hear about your brother. I lost mine about three years ago. On the AR-15 I believe that you need gold and guns both, hopefully in abundance. <Grin> We went to a Florida gun show this weekend and am proud to report that the "gun show loophole" is working wonderfully. You never saw such a fantastic crowd, your basic doctors, lawyers and Indian Chiefs. A really fine looking bunch of our very best and brightest people from all around. Working folks and professionals and best of all very many young folks, lots of young couples and many who were probably on a date. This is really encouraging. My kids shoot and my daughter is in her third year of martial arts. But I am with TJ on the gold too. If the US had remained on the gold currency standard it is possible that many problems could have been avoided. Slagle

Condolences to you and your family. How comes I never needed a gun? Lived 31 years in Brazil, of which 10 years travelling as a field engineer. A total of nine in Nigeria and the only countries I lived that can be called civilized was 1 and 1/2 in Sweden and 1 and 1/2 in Czech Republic. The only time I wished I had a gun were the times I saw stupidity in front of me: I was under heavy rain, lights on at a dusk, a truck loaded with sugar cane entered the main road from the left and got my whole lane. I was doing at most 60Km/h (about 40 miles/h for the US folks). I braked as softly as I could as I got in to the road shoulder (which was grass) to avoid blocking the wheels and spin out of control (no ABS in 1978. I squeezed my station wagon on the small gap between the trucks bumper swerving around on my left and the ditch and cliff at my righthand side. Only my skills saved that day of a frontal colision and certain death. Had I had a gun that day I would have turned around, go behind the guy and shoot the driver. As I cooled my head down in the next gas station (and wait for my legs to stop shaking), drinking a coffee, I said to myself I should never even onw a gun, in those situations I would kill some idiot. Never owned. Don't advise anyone to do.
