Never said debt doesn't matter. Never said home values wouldn't drop. Never said gold wouldn't go up. Never said the stock market wouldn't fluctuate. Never said Bush was wise. Never said Putin's soul was Bush friendly. Those would be silly, even ignorant things to say, and I've never said them. I realize that there's no way to stop you from misrepresenting what I said, and say, so there's no point in doing more than pointing out that you, in fact, constantly misrepresent what I said, and say. Something to do with Chinese illusions of "face", I surmise. You have to put others down in order to build yourself up in your own mind. Yesterday we visited the Corcoran gallery for the last day of the Ansel Adams show, and I spent some time observing "Moonrise Over Hernandez New Mexico", which I could have bought for $500 back in the late 1970's, worth many thousands today. At the time I knew it would be a good investment, but just could not bring myself to buy it, because I simply did not want it. Revisiting the photo, I still don't want it, and don't regret not buying it. I don't really like it all that much. Ansel Adams is wonderfully technically proficient but his work leaves me cold. Now if I'd had the chance to buy a Georgia O'Keefe, that would have been another story. You like gold, and you have gold. Good for you.
