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.

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.
The words you used in post # 178 were "the man who claims that the paper dollar is more stable admits that if forced to choose he would hold the gold." Since I am one of the men who claim "that that the paper dollar is more stable", I took it to mean that you're suggesting that I would willingly choose to "hold the gold". For me, "holding gold" is morally repugnant, even though the last time I tried it I ended up with a great tax loss write-off on my income tax.
No problem. This is obviously one of those cases where that which I thought you meant wasn't the same as what we felt the other was hoping to be understood. I think.
