Gold, precious metals and gemstones are real: as a means of accumulating wealth, saving, paying for goods and services, and transfering wealth to future generations. Fiat or paper money is not real, it's a human invention, a mirage, an illusion, a game of smoke and mirrors, a cycle of perpetual destruction. This will never change.

The problem with Government: it's like being pregnant, you can't be "a little bit" pregnant. If you decide to have "a little bit" of Government, you have sown the seed and will reap the inevitable overwhelming results.

WE THE PEOPLE let this happen when we were ignorant. NOW we are letting it happen because we are stupified cowards. STAND UP AMERICA and be counted!

It's time, the tail has been wagging the dog for too long. Where is a real leader, a Senate and a Congress who remember We The People are supposed to be their raison d'etre and not We The Fat Cat Government. Or are we all too hypnotized to save ourselves?

Hello anonymous, this has nothing to do with politics or the pitiful 2 party system in our country, or any other ideology, it has to do with us, the "sheeple" as you so correctly say, who are easily bewildered and led to, amongst other things, the slaughter. We are not the masters of our own universe and we cannot be until we STAND UP.

Too late, we are so far down the path there is no way back. A masterful plan carefully conceived and then openly executed. WE THE PEOPLE only have our sad selves to blame, we took their pointless jobs, we took their cheap loans, we listened to their advertising, we put faith in meaningless religions, we focused on self-gratification and trashy lifestyles, we ate their stultifying food, we took their pacifying drugs, we died in their pointless wars, we never remembered, we always surrendered, we are GUILTY AS HELL of this situation and still, every day, every minute we suck up this terminal cancerous fodder without shouting from the rooftops ENOUGH! We are already slaves, already chained, and still smiling like the idiots we are. We deserve everything we get. If you think I am crazy read Ayn Rand - or read her again - and weep.
