The point is that the value of gold is more constant than the value of paper dollars

I'd have to disagree. Your precious gold lost over 60% of its value from 1980 to 1982. Doesn't sound very constant.

Apparently you choose to believe that when the price of gold in dollars fluctuates wildly that the problem is with gold.

No. I just think it shows the ridiculousness of your premise.

I see the problem as being with the unbacked dollar.

The unbacked dollar that buys more gold in 2006 than it did in 1980? That's funny!

You are so predictable as to be patently ridiculous! You cherry pick one short period which fits your theory and ignore the rest. How about comparing 2006 to 1983? I see your game but I cannot understand your motivation. You are not fooling too many by the way.
