“The desire of gold is not for gold. It is for the means of freedom and benefit…For what avail the plough or sail, or land or life, if freedom fail?”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Over the long run, the price of gold approximates the total amount of money in circulation divided by the size of the gold stock. If the market price of gold moves a long way from this level, it may indicate a buying or selling opportunity.”
Ray Dalio

Tim Wilson – It’s a Sorry World Lyrics
You can go to war when you’re 18
But you can’t buy a beer
You can load missiles on a submarine
But you can’t buy a pistol here
You can breathe chemical weapon fumes
But they don’t want you to smoke
so when you’re shootin’ up a bar in Baghdad, don’t order a rum and coke
You can have sex when you’re 17
You just can’t have a cigarette
You ain’t old enough for a slot machine
Or to lay down a football bet
But they’ll take you to the clinic if you’re 15
And your folks don’t have to know
Or you can take penicillin, just don’t watch people
Gettin’ naked on video
You can be a governor at 21
Or a president at 35
You can be the senator from south Carolina
If you can just stay alive
They’ll throw you in with sharks when you’re 12 years old
Teach you to scuba dive
But when you’re 94 and can’t see anymore
they’ll still let you drive
Just don’t get caught ith no beer in your hand if you just turned 18
They don’t mind you ownin’ an acetylene torch
and a gallon of gasoline
You just can’t buy smokes at the liquor store or y’all will both go to jail
But they’ll sell you a rope
so you can hang yourself while you’re listening to Nine Inch Nails
It’s a sorry World
It’s a sooorry world
It’s a sorry world when you can raise youngans but you can’t smoke a Marlborough
It’s a sorry world when you’re 17 and you can’t call a callgirl.
Since on the subject of quotes and Emerson-This is my fav- To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
