the man who claims that the paper dollar is more stable admits that if forced to choose he would hold the gold.

No, I don't.  I find that just "holding" gold, or any other form of wealth for that matter, is morally repugnant.   

Our Creator gave us life, and accepting that gift also means we accept a challenge to be deserving of that gift.  Anyone who "would hold the gold" (your words from here) is both "wicked and lazy" (words from here) because the very least that's expected of us is to be ready to give "it back with interest."

This is another example of someone responding to something I never actually said, the line about being forced to choose was not even directed at you in the first place.

I should have phrased 187 differently, you responded to something I never said TO YOU as if I had. The words are mine but they were directed at someone else as you can easily see if you go back and reread.
