Sounds like it was a fascinating study. Nice to talk to someone who actually knows something about the subject - (unlike those who ape what they read in some list of political talking points.) I find it fascinating that they call the fiat money system the only viable one possible - - - given the...

Jeez people - - - its freakin' funny ! :D Just like when Bush came up with all his bumbling/mumbling 'speechifying' . The need for some to defend 'their guy' from anything & from any quarter is absolutely amazing. Like some overprotective Mommy.- - -

Yes, I agree ! If I were lost in the woods, the sun was quickly going down, and it looked like I was facing hypothermia if I didn't get a fire started a.s.a.p. - - - I'd rather have paper money for tinder than gold ! :D That's one instance where that paper would actually have some real...

Tresor - - Thats just not very practical. Tungsten is extremely hard to machine,and is a very expensive metal. There are electrical conductivity differences, and of course it can be detected chemically. The main concern was more with large gold bars than with coins because of the machining...

To add just a little bit more - - it has also been suggested that people could use 100% gold debit cards to make purchases and this would provide the capacity to use any weight measure of gold that was convenient. Of course they could withdraw the full sum of their card in gold at any time. - -...

Well, there are a lot of fallacies about gold. Rather than retype an answer to some questions I got from another forum, I'll just paste what I wrote here. Some of this may seem a little out of context, (again I was answering questions on another fourm): Unfortunately, the maker of that film...

The usual empty attacks - - - no specific references to anything in particular and no refuting any of it with evidence. - - Totally worthless statements. (And you did throw in the 'racism' weapon - - total horseshit, and a lame old tactic.) Your 'source' is undoubtedly the political hit pieces...

You have been brainwashed. There is no such thing as 'society', that is a concept used to rob you. What that concept means - in the real world - is that someone convinces (or forces) you to part with your resources to give to some cause that they determine is 'right'. It usually turns out...

Shit - - you can go back and watch all sorts of You Tube videos of Bernanke 'predictions' about what the economy will do - - The constant theme seems to be that he's always wrong. Does anyone really believe any statements coming from out of the Fed ?

Since when does anything the government runs result in decreased costs, better service, and greater efficiency ? Often it turns out that programs cost double or triple what they 'predict'. Interview of congressman Dr. Ron Paul (M.D.) on Obamacare - including costs issues, loss of privacy...

Following is a link to a page that has an audio recording of an interview with congressman Dr. Ron Paul (M.D.) speaking on the health care bill, the use of force, and loss of personal privacy. Check out the bottom of the page (# 133) just click on the arrow to start listening - it can also be...

Yeah, I've thought along those lines - - - but it would be nice to get people in there that have Some kind of real long term accomplishment. (Outside of politics, sounds even better to me). - - END THE FED ! RON PAUL/PALIN in 2012 !

Of course, after helping to create the conditions after WW 1 that lead to Hitler, - - we Did need to stop that evil in WW2. - -

I like Sarah. (Well as much as you can like someone who you've never met face-to-face & only know as a t.v. personality.) The idea of a nice looking gal from Alaska who hunts & fishes and can handle herself in the outdoors sounds great to me. - - - But what concerns me is that our national...

(Regarding 'isolationism' leading to WW 2. You, and others using that argument dont appear to completely know their history. ) NOT a good point, at all. - - - World War 1 gave us World War 2. World War 1 shouldn't have been fought at all. (Historians now scratch their heads wondering what...

Biggest threat - - - includes those 'true believers' on the right or left who blindly follow their marching orders - - even though 'their guy' ends up doing the exact same thing 'the old guy' did when he was in office. The biggest threat also includes those apathetic morons who care more about...

the1 (great screen name by the way) - - I agree. 'Our' system is like the merchantilist system of govt/favored business interests that the American colonists broke away from that was imposed on them with the aid of the British Crown. Under such a system, 'free markets' don't exist, only...

'Socialized' medicine hasn't worked particularly well. The option you didnt list is that of a truly free market system. (Versus the crony 'capitalism' run by politicians/special interests to protect their own cartels.) People attack 'capitalism', but it hasn't actually existed in the U.S...

At the time I'm making this post, there are 5 people who believe the economy will get better (I'm assuming they mean over a longer term than just an immediate time frame). Why do you believe that ? What evidence convinces you of that ? There are quite a few people who believe the economy will...
