[QUOTE="willieboyd2, post: 2061528, member: 4910"]Gold is not politically correct. From [I]The Treasure of the Sierra Madre[/I] by B. Traven, published in 1935. [indent]Anyway, gold is a very devilish sort of a thing, believe me, boys. The gold worn around the finger of an elegant lady or as a crown on the head of a king was more often than not passed through hands of creatures who would make that king or elegant lady shudder. There is little doubt that gold is oftener bathed in human blood than in hot suds. A noble king who wished to show his high-mindedness could do no better than have his crown made of iron. Gold is for thieves and swindlers. For this reason they own most of it. The rest is owned by those who do not care where the gold comes from or in what sort of hands it has been.[/indent] :)[/QUOTE]
