Hello kuni.I read your post and thought that I would add my 2cents because it got me thinking.Here goes.I think that the government has used good judgement on their energy/resource policies.Why dig up /use up our own resources when we can swap worthless paper for others to dig up/for us to use up theirs.Then when we really truly need our own,they are still there.There are still plenty of resources in Silverton for our little mill to process due to those policies.If we do fall back to some form of gold standard,who will benefit the most?Those who still have resources.The U.S government is'nt going belly up,and they are not broke either.America's best days lie ahead of us.We have great wealth and are trying to bring others up to our high standard of living.Imagine everyone in China and India with"two chickens in every pot,two cars in every garage"Its happening as we speak.The Chinese think that they are going to break the federal reserves back with some new gold backed currency.Good luck with that.Say hello to Mohamar Khadafi and Saddam Hussein in hell when they meet there.Sorry for my late night rambling kuni.Go CGFIA.Get that mill up and running,and process some ore.Thats what we all want around here.If the government thinks that we need gold backed currency again,all the better for us shareholders.Good luck to us all and Good Night(EOM)
