Leslie, I just don't know.  "Sound money" policy; "hard currency" -- all of 
that is good and just.  But; the fact remains that as long as a few countries 
--with the U.S. in primacy-- have the miltary power -- pure might and force; 
the world will acquiece to whatever whim 'our' central bankers and 
politicians decide, for through their 'laws' these central bankers and 
politicians control our 'might'.

  That is, until there is some great tipping point, and who knows if that 
will occur in our lifetimes.  Currently, the greatest failures in history are 
being rewarded greater than the most hedonistic sultans and emporerers of 
ancient times.  At least those ancients domintated and conquered by force.  
Right now, the western world's populace is willingly submissive.  We have 
become a culture of p*ss*es being ruled by the pen strokes of a great 
confederacy of dunces............................................
