At least gluttony then (which is a form of greed, in my estimation).  And they go past full, ask any mother with puke all over their shoulder, getting ready to go out.

Hate to inform you the video takes much of its material out of context. I could create a video showing people firing semi-auto and full auto firearms, and state the Founding Fathers never thought those would be in the hands of the common man, who REALLY wanted the King's laws and religion. I could give it nice, music, and some idiot to rattle off an absurd list of details that supposively links everything together.

This video is simply fear mongerings. And WHICH political party thrives on fear? Shouldn't be to hard. And WHO are they targeting? Here's a hint: Their the ones who keep voting in the folks of the first question.

The amount of gold and silver used and consumed is only about 5% of what is availible in the world. The grand majority of it, will never see a useful form (i.e. for consumption), but instead remain in its mined/smelted form. Its rather funny to think about the Commodities Market. Lumber, Cattle, Steel, even Wheat (and soon, H2O), are commodities traded, and slated for actual consumption for entities big and small. How much of the Cattle Market is traded in a given month? Nearly all of it, with a few percentage points carried to the next month. Gold & Silver, are the exact opposite condition.

So while this video does its best to put fear into people, the calm and educated will understand that large corporations would have untold problems switching to gold & silver for trade. For starters, much of their business depends on the common man for survival. How long would McDonalds remain in business, if we switch to gold & silver? Ford? Boeing? All of them would be severly crippled if not destroyed. Given that, each of them have alot to gain keeping a stable value of currency in place. We Americans, obviously would like that to be the USD. The Europeans, the Euro. And so on, for each nation or collection of nations.

If you want to 'stock up' on gold and silver, for the coming 'End Times', go right ahead. Just contact your local suvivialist nutjob for help in how to go about it. They all voted for McCain and are STILL in the bunkers waiting for the end of the world that was suppose to come a decade ago. I'm sure, they are the 'best' ones to contact for understanding the future of international trade, and more importantly, your living status.

Yes, I suppose this is just as true as other people willing to believe everything the state and the mainstream media tells them.

Is there a specific conspiracy theory to which you are referring?

May we assume that your comment wasn't in response to Aneirin's previous post?

You do realize that gold and silver have very few marketable uses, so they are comparable to the fake money you condemn.

However, most conspiracy theories are based on misrepresentation of facts.

This is common for people who haven't done their research. Silver especially is basically the infrastructure of the future. Everything electronic is made of silver and there's no replacement. I wouldn't be commenting if you had only been a little wrong. You're really, really wrong, and you're not alone - but the world is beginning to catch on. When it does - watch out! Goodbye fiat money.

Silver is up over 291% since TARP.    Anerin holds some of that conspiratorial silver.    (as do I)

In fact-  291% does not cover this week.    Add another 10+ %.    HA

If you have the gold or silver stashed somewhere that you can get to it, that's great. But if you are invested in gold or silver through a broker you can kiss it goodbye if everything goes to hell.
