Really? What is not known? I'm just curious because you've got all of human history against you when it comes to Gold and Silver being the standard for money.

| | | | | | Re: I got a $1 Why gold? Why not peg the dollar to another commodity like oil, corn, soybeans or pork bellies? Everyone loves bacon, I'm thinking pork bellies would be the ideal choice.
Now think long and hard before you throw at me a Glen Beck reason as to why it needs to be backed by gold, and ponder this: If you back your dollar with gold, what happens to the value of your money when someone discovers 20 billion dollars worth of gold? 50 billion dollars? A trillion dollars? How about someone just *announces* they found that volume of gold; what happens?
What happens to the value of your money when they can't find any more gold?
Get the idea? Gold isn't stable, except atomically. Someone in gold rich countries can affect the dollar if it is backed by gold. Not wise. | |

Are you suggesting that an extremely unlikely mass find of 50 billion dollars of gold is more unsettling than printing 4 trillion dollars?
Seriously?
You obviously didn't think this through. | |

Your blaming people wanting to go back to a gold standard on Ron Paul?
Wow...I thought it was the continuing decline of the business cycle and lack of faith in the dollar.
Or maybe its stuff like this:

1 edit | RIM and AOL Both sprinted to the front but just didn't have the stamina to stay in the lead(blinders on). Case and the two idiots at Rim are made for each other. They all new what customers wanted and either refused to give it to them or just wouldn't incorporate(aol content w/roadrunner) what they already had into the new landscape. | |

Glen Head, NY | Fireplace Wouldn't it be quicker to take your cash and simply set it on fire in a fireplace? The end result will be the same for you except you will not have the benefit of feathering the nests of Goldman Sachs and various executives who will take most of the loot and run.
Frankly I think RIM should give up with their hardware and OS and switch to an app based service that would run on iOS, Android and Windows Phone. They might as well capitalize on the popular OS's and focus their remaining engineering skills on building good apps.
