dragonstar1 I remember reading somewhere that supposedly fort knox has been empty for sometime. The US $ is traded on the open market and is not a closed currency, therefore can only be fiat currency. A closed currency is for example somewhere like morocco. You cannot...

dragonstar1 Hey again, I meant to say the sums/ formulas & equations mean nothing. You were right not to lose valuable thinking space remembering or even trying to work out what they mean. I've had days where I though my brain was trying to escape because I'd...

dragonstar1 Hey great to hear from you, I appreciate what you say with regards to using a commodity based system. I'm not sure using fuel would work as it is based on production and private ownership. I heard recently that they were going to slow production as they...

dragonstar1 You are definitely right in the way people argue on here. If I find something that gets my goat, I try to have a think about the best way to put it. I think sometimes people cant see the wood for the trees because they react so fast and don't have a think...

dragonstar1 Also generally if you look into studies you find they are generally flawed as the children tested would have been through the development stage prior to fluoridation. It seems as our diets got better so did our teeth, they just published the studies at the...

dragonstar1 Valid point, I find they often spend money where not required. I would guess this is something to do with their financing statement, as to how much they've aside for this purpose and just feel they have to spend it. Considering their other channels are...
