Gold in the Low $600s?

There are many things wrong with both of your comments but I will just point out the most glaring one. Moving to Thailand in this economic crisis is like trying to find shelter from a wildfire in a fireworks factory. I hope your gold will pump out fresh water, food, medical care and a consistent system of rule of law from its hiding space under your mattress because your king has not been particularly interested in making sure that all of his subjects have equal access to that.

If the United States does embark on the sort of paranoid neo-con adventure that you are advertising, the first stop will by Myanmar, not Zimbabwe, and your neighbors will rush across the border to meet our troops, hanging onto the helicopter skids as they take off to the carriers.
