<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1443349, member: 26302&quot;]I never said paper money would have helped either, but you didn&#039;t ask that. You asked when has those with gold starved. They starve if either there is no food to buy, or they are in a position that those with food do not value their gold. Cloud mentioned the Mayans, that is a case where there was no food to buy. My examples were ones where those who had the food refused to sell it for gold to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can substitute gold for any other commodity. At times people can starve, and no commodity can prevent that. That was my only point.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, gold is valuable in times of troubles as a means to escape that trouble. If there is no escape or hope of escape, then gold is a pretty bauble. Hopefully we would never experience such times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
