    This is worth the time for anyone to have a look.

    Yes it was interesting. Now to check that stuff out myself. The only problem with what he was talking about was not suggesting a resolution to the problem.

    That is correct, he described the problem. I think forums like this are a solution to the problem. All of us here may at times get very, very annoyed by the points of view from other members, but I think we are all the better for it by being exposed to ideas we aren't going to agree with no matter what.

    I agree but any solution is probably fighting a losing battle. The majority of people don't really want information or a challenge to their beliefs. They typically only want affirmation of their beliefs. That is why Fox News, MSNBC, Huffington Post, and the ilk have done so well. A single viewpoint. Pre-filtered.

    Very interesting.

    I was on Youtube a few hours ago looking for something to show my nephew. Something neither of us would look for.

    I was getting "ads" for silver. As in what it might do and where to buy it. For cripes sake there was a Goldline box up there.

    Hmmm.....I work in a coin shop and follow silver closely. I consult Kitco frequently for the spot market.

    Coincidence?
