If you can cause people to think dog turds have value, you'd never
stumble across one again, in your lifetime!

If people knew just what value was in those little pieces of green paper
you can't even wipe your arse with, properly, there would be a run on
the banks ... wholesale bedlam would follow.

Most people are stupid, they simply "believe" and, therefore, it is so
.... again, akin to that leap of faith which allows one to believe in god.

No, it means going down to the mall with a 50 and seeing what you can bring
home.

True enough. But I've never tried to convince people of such things. It may
be dull, but I tend to stick to the evidence.

Hmmm...something like realizing what "value" is in those little pieces of
gold? They'd be Ok for fishing sinkers, but you'd have to paint them with
flat paint to knock down the shine. Otherwise, not much.

I'd find it easier to take you seriously, John, if you showed any evidence
of having studied any of this stuff. It sounds like you make it up as you go
along.

Well you know I have never known a dog who cared for gold but they
find a dog turd a tasty treat.
