Friends, Romans, Countrymen:

Well, It's 4:00 am and here I am in the Emergency Room. Only one patient with righ upper quadrant pain in room 2, most likely a gall bladder, so time to write. Just finsihed listening to Jim Puplava's show for the second time. He talks about the Euro falling apart and gold going up with this occurrence. Let's examine the whole concept of the Euro for a minute. All the Major Powers of Europe that have basically spent the past 1000 years trying to blow each other to bits except for the times when they were not but were usually fast at work planning a new strategy of how to blow each other to bits...all of a sudden they are all going to get together and have a common currency and live happily ever after. Can you think of anything dumber? The Euro is going to fall apart. It's just a question of when. And now Jim Puplava's saying that it could be soon. This makes gold shoot to the moon and anybody who has gold in the ground shoot to the moon too, provided they are in a politically stable area like Mexico and not Ecuador. Those poor guys at Aurelian. I used to live in the third world, and had a lot of first hand experience with third world governments, and as soon as I heard about the size of Fruta Del Norte I got worried. "Thanks a lot you guys, but we were thinking of looking there in a few weeks anyway, and it's our gold anyway, and you guys are a bunch of jerks and get lost or we'll shoot you." I hope it's not that bad for Keith Barron and the boys, but it's best not to make a major discovery in a place when numbskulls are running everything. Bull
