Goldcarp, Please do not underestimate the respect I have for your intellect and posts here. I would not take the time to write to you if I didn't think so. That being said, we will be on a complete gold standard within 12 years. That's my long range estimate. Personally I think it will be less than 6 years. Bull

p.s. Monetary phenomena are no different than natural phenomena. The inability of our leaders to understand this is why we are set up to increase our wealth so tremendously in the next few years.
