...being a little hard on Jefferson, aren't we? Don't tell me, you're an Adams kinda guy, right?
fear is stupidity's hand maiden.
The people to blame aren't the gold bugs, but those who profit from their fear. What they do is throw together a rough stew of ancient history, anti-gov't/Fed Reserve distribes, mix in with a little paranoia/fear, season with Jefferson (or some other notable) and serve hot.
Yes,I prefer Adams and Hamilton to Jefferson. You are VERY astute,clever,intelligent,knowledgeable,and yes,funny.
What a fantastic saying! I've never heard that one before.And yes,you are 100% correct about the conmen who push gold.For a while,there were a band of gold bugs on FR.The leader of the pack posted thread after thread after thread after damned thread with "articles" (news letters and con-game pitches)by two or three of these con-artists,as though it was all factual and on the up and up. Fortunately he and most of his drooling,rabid followers have been banned and FR has blessedly been free from that garbage for a while.
