Knowing the world disagrees with me but still trying to argue what I feel is a righteous point,..,. it wasn't one man but two brothers that were able to manipulate the silver market. Google "Hunt brothers silver" or "Silver thursday". That was a while ago but somehow, I feel the arrogance of youth has pushed down the wisdom of the aged in matters of great social importance. The sad thing is we oldies have seen this before, in the slogans of "Greed is Good" and "Lifestyles of the KrashDashian Jersey Shore's", "Mike Hunt".

Personally I tend to agree, there is no value in contrived currency but when powerful individuals seek to influence the masses...perception of value, be that of commodities or populations can be manipulated.

As this is an old post and my response should survive the mob's backlash, I would ask anyone reading this to reply with other examples of contrived value in todays society.
