Going to be interesting to watch, and fun since I'm not invested in it. Are you?

I still have most I obtained by my own labor, and some I bought at 400 and below.

Yeah. Planes and automobiles would never have been invented if it weren't for the government.

If not for the military and govt subsidies (US Post saved the airline businesses at one point when they initiated air mail at a loss) we would still be flying bi-planes made of cloth and wood. If not for orderly and well built roads by the govt automobiles would not be as wide spread as they are today. You seem to forget that the national road system was only built in the USA after WW2 by that commie Ike Eisenhower.

If the Fed pursues a "Quantitative Easing" #3, we'll see gold at $2,500 an ounce.

They will...they threw the hint out and Wall St. will hold them to it.

Is a license required to mine on your own? If not, it will soon, imho.

Not usually on private, sometimes a permit on certain public lands. You can still place a claim on most BLM or Forest Service lands if you can find any areas that are unclaimed that have anything worth prospecting. I'm talking pick and shovel type mining not anything requiring the removal and processing of large amounts of material.

Most are already claimed, but they do take some off the list of claimables occasionally and occasionally they add some. They actually do land swaps and deals with the lumber companies ALL THE TIME.

If congress creates an reserve or park in an area, then the status of most claims there are changed according to the terms listed in the legislation.

Right now our lands are being used as assets for debt collateral. The Chinese want them as pristine as possible. Heh but that's a small price for the financing of wars that keeps the world safe for 'free markets'.

No. You said: "The govts of the USA and abroad invested heavily in the development of most if not all these inventions". You are completely wrong, so now you are changing your story.

None of the game changing technologies I listed had any government investment. Governments may have been one of the customers for many of these technologies. So what? They were created by private sector without government investment. BOZO.

This is how morons "think" and "talk".

This known fool of one particular bent, tries to mock others of an another political persuasion as putatively being dogmatic "purists", who are on the whole incapable of seeing actual past actions as being both of utility to the American people, while being of at least a mixed political nature.

Which is supposed to "prove" somehow that "the others", (conservatives in this case, wink wink, nudge nudge), are stoopid and incapable of analytical thought.

But what it really shows is that this known FOOL is the dogmatic purist and incapable of rational thought.

Because you see only the demonRATs et. al. are political about everything all of the time, it is only they and their kind who put their partees before OUR country.

Only a FOOL who is a complete dogmatic ideological whore thinks that political theory especially as practically embodied in the REAL world is ever "pure" and/or "perfect".

Only FOOLS would ever think that any politics can EVER be 100% theoretically "pure" in the REAL world You gibbering idiot.

You are the same sort of phuckwad who claims that Communist China is better than the USA in alot of goobermental ways aren't you FOOL?
