  1. Dona, sounds like you definitely beat the odds through your hard work and persistence and did well for yourself. As for typing; I’m pretty good at it myself and never look at the keyboard when typing. I actually find it odd when people do that. I often look all around while typing, like Stevie Wonder on a keyboard. I wonder if my comments would be more interesting if I actually paid more attention to what I type.

  2. “One of the problems with the gold standard is that it does not allow for expanding money supply as a stimulative tactic, basically what the FED is doing now and ties the hands of leaders in dealing with local and global economies.”

    This is the key issue, apart from the fact that there isn’t enough of it to return to the standard.

    Legion. whats your email? I’ll send you a well written piece about gold standard and reserve currency

  3. dona,
    I love playing driving games on Wii,
    littlelegion just got one that simulates driving at Daytona.
    You can pick a year like 63′
    and it gives you the track conditions and layout for that year.
    It’s not like many of the other video games out there which have a “game” feel to them with their handling.
    This one really feels like driving. Great fun!
    That BROOKLYN drive would be a killer game.

    Thanks for the advice dona and dibs.
    Will certainly factor all you’ve said into my decisions.

  4. “One of the problems with the gold standard is that it does not allow for expanding money supply as a stimulative tactic, basically what the FED is doing now and ties the hands of leaders in dealing with local and global economies.”

    is that necessarily a bad thing?

    only child, can’t drive, hates on everything/one…..what an awesome guy rob is.

    Well, he certainly seems to give a certain meaning to YOUR existance. Wasn’t YOU who admitted to MISSING *rob*?

  6. Legion, the head of the World Bank suggested recently that the G-20 consider looking at Gold as a kind of indicator in some kind of formulaic way to try to target money supply,interest rates and currency relationships.

    It was a game…he was trying to stimulate thinking about moving beyond the dollar as a reserve currency but nobody really is thinking about this seriously.

    One of the problems with the gold standard is that it does not allow for expanding money supply as a stimulative tactic, basically what the FED is doing now and ties the hands of leaders in dealing with local and global economies.
