No, you need to watch what I actually say much closer - instead of what you interpret me to be saying. And I mean what I have said in in other...
As does just about any other govt., including our own. But since they make it the law of the land, it's not really considered stealing. And since...
OK Paul - I'm gonna guess you paid about $600 for it. My reasons for that are simple, it's pretty coin but not extravagantly so. So the premium...
