gold CAN be worthless. Think about this .. you are stuck all alone in death valley. How much are you willing to pay for that auart of bottled water?

You do realize that your scenario is, quite literally, and by "quite literally" I mean every single word, straight out of The Twilight Zone ("The Rip Van Winkle Caper").

From one twilight zone fanatic to another ... yes I do realize it ... and the concept is just as valid in reality as it was in the zone scenario. That quart of water is worth more than it’s weight in gold
