This may be off topic but after reading "What This Country Needs Now is Hope" I'm absolutely convinced that the US will collapse and holding gold and silve stocks is the right decision in order to survive the collateral damage.

James Quinn has done an incredible job with this article. In it's 21 pages of facts, he has described in detail how the US got into their huge debt problem and what they need to get out. Of course, politicians will definitely not follow any of his recomendations and the country will collapse. Scary stuff indeed.
