whether we like those interests or not, or understand why they think things the way they do. So why are they accumulating and using gold reserves as a tool to gain independence?

Well, why don't people with savings extend that idea to, well, the United States may use the dollar or the treasuries as a pressure point against people who have savings? Because maybe, like what's happening in China now, they're saying rich people need to share. Everybody, we need to share your wealth because there are a lot of poor people. Everybody needs to be good. So this billionaire thing, they said to each according to his needs. So the value of independence, the value of freedom, you and I just had a political discussion of freedom. Freedom is not important to most people until it palpably or lack of it, palpably affects them. They take it for granted. So people take safety in financial affairs, perhaps for granted. (85/96)
