      Bob Moriarty: Gold is Safe Haven for Looming Crash
      Hey Blochie, lighten up on CJWirth. I don't know or pretend to know what is going to happen. I do know that I would rather own some gold than not to own some gold. Having lived through a hurricane, and listening to my 94 year old grandmother tell me about the Great Depression, I also believe that it truly pays to prepare for the worst, and hope for the best. Preparing for the worst includes having enough gold and dollars in reserve for each member of your family. I also know that having water and food on hand is a must, as well as a generator for emergencies. Do not scoff at nor disregard other peoples input, you should simply take anything you can from their input because it may help you at some point. I am in sales, and I talk to many people over the course of a day. I can tell you that the "hair on the back of the neck" is standing up for a number of people even before the sub-prime mess. Most intelligent people agree that the numerous problems that we have are leading us down a path of self-destruction. I too am optimistic that people will wake up and begin to work towards solutions so that our children will not have to deal with these messes. To fix these problems will require input from many people, and also it will take people to add to and build on other peoples ideas. New Orleans should have taught everyone to prepare and not wait for the government to save you. Last time I looked, the government has not radically changed the way that it does business, so I am not believing that gold is not a viable hedge against dollar depreciation. I do agree with you that diversity in your investments is very wise. I also agree that when the herd mentality seems to be driving people to the cities...one should be a contrarian!

      The Federal Reserve Has Failed Us
      Well stated article. Until Americans tune out TV and filter the noise, they will not see what is happening to them. I took several teens to a movie the other night with my son, and one of the kids was asked a question about his ex-girlfriend. He stated, "No comment...I plead the 5th". One of the other kids stated, " what's that?" The kid who "pleaded the 5th" stated that he didn't exactly know. My kid kind of explained it as the 5th Amendment to the Constitution, but did not go into detail. I began to explain, but they did not care to learn. Later that night, I had my son doing some reading of a pocket guide on the Constitution that I got from a Ron Paul booth at a local fair. It is amazing that kids are not learning the valuable lessons to help ensure their futures. They will have their liberties and freedoms stripped from them over the next several decades due to their lack of knowledge of the guarantees that their forefathers fought for them. God help us we need an 'overhaul' in the worst kind of way!
