At the moment, it's in prototype form, so you might be better to hold gold until there's an exchange. Or you might even like to create one yourself. <how can I exchange my KRands and maple leafs for your new currency? > I'm just giving a warning that gold is not a metaphysical certitude to form the basis of the next world currency. Already there is Bitcoin. You might like to place a bet on that instead of gold. en.wikipedia.org  But it's not very well designed, so will be merely a stop-gap. They have the right sort of idea though.

We had a couple of mules to ride last time I was in Mexico. It is a quaint site to see a group of them tied up while their owners are in a cantina and then taking the drunk passengers home by moon light.

"That bad thing about food is if you bury it it disappears."

If you bury it the right way it will regenerate and grow up again.

It seems quite sequitious to me. Old technology tends to go through its life cycle then it's game over. Gold is just another technology. Sort of like fire, bronze, and flint in its ancestry.

>My best suggestion is a few acres of good fertile soil in a relatively warm climate where you can grow a garden.>

If that was so valuable why are there over 1 billion poor farmers in the third world?

I don't suggest doing it to become rich or even for the profit motive. I suggest doing it so you can feed yourself in a crisis.

NAFTA was a plot fo the US to trade with two oil exporters: Canada and Mexico. Lots of USD paid for oil to both. US wanted them to import US products and not go buy elsewhere.

India tests Agni "God of Fire" nuke-capable missile able to hit China ( unlike N Korea, this one worked)
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/india-tests-nuke-capable-missile-able-hit-china-034308390.html

NEW DELHI (AP) — India announced the successful test launch Thursday of a new nuclear-capable missile that would give it the ability to strike the major Chinese cities of Beijing and Shanghai for the first time, a significant step forward in its aspirations to become a regional and world power.

The Agni-V missile, with a range of 5,000 kilometers (3,100 miles), still requires a battery of tests and must clear other bureacratic hurdles before it can be inducted into India's arsenal. But officials hailed the launch as proof the country has taken its place among the world's most powerful and scientifically advanced nations.

"The nation stands tall today," Defense Minister A.K. Antony said, according to the Press Trust of India.

tis oddly funny that the rah rah corporate media seem to make a big deal of the india missile test as some ostensible scoring happening in the supposed rivalry between an otherwise quite unaware china and big to-do india

why shouldn't india possess the intercon? of course it should have them and should be welcomed into the club.

though i am unsure how intercontinental missiles would help india with its 180m islam folks at the back, and another 180m on left flank, when capital new delhi is minutes away from china camp by ballistics, and air-breathing drones can cover the entire sub continent stealthily from the commanding height from where india must seek permission for 100% of its drinking water - maybe there would be a time for get-serious resource nationalism. but, in all cases, welcome to the club.

it is simply too funny that folks can believe for a fraction of a mo that a few dirt tracks at the foothills of the tallest mountain in the world would eventually lead to intercontinental anything

no one bothers to think for a moment, india buys oil from iran, says no to team usa pressure, want to sign up with shanghai cooperation organization to stand alongside moscow and beijing, essentially represents essentially a complement to china in enough ways, and perhaps can do better in all that it does if it possessed truly INTERCONTINENTAL as opposed to mere transcontinential ballistics able to reach everywhere on this planet?


the end result would simply be that so everybody is covered by everybody's intercontinentals ... in my view a balanced eventuality assuring very extremely stable equilibrium ;0)
either all go nuke and intercon or no one should have nuke and intercon.

democratic pakistan and universal suffrage iran are supposedly aiming for club membership, perhaps with help from traditionally dynastic n.korea

let us see how those developments progress. trust the corporate press is less enthusiastic in the latter two cases based on some unique theory or another un-singular standard.
