<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sean5150, post: 2285973, member: 75607&quot;]That was a lot of ad hominems and red herrings, but it still doesn&#039;t obscure your sophistry.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had to look up half the names you dropped, but I can tell you that your stereotyping is dead wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>For your first point you can replace John Birch with Thomas Jefferson.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Edited for sinking to your level</i>. I am surprised you took my Warren Buffet comment as pejorative.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your third point is not debatable, simply because there is no use trying to convince you what the definition of a resource is. The last sentence of this pararaph is also ironic considering the &quot;hype men&quot; are the very bankers you seem so desperate to defend.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know what school I am in, because as I said I am a layman so therefore don&#039;t ascribe to any belief structures. You are far more knowledgeable in this arena as far as theories and names.</p><p><br /></p><p>1)This could be a dictionary definition of sophistry. You take a statement, distort the context, and villify it.</p><p><br /></p><p>2)Another ironic diatribe. Once again using something like homeopathy as a false analogy to an argument. No one on Wall Street is curing cancer, they are causing it.</p><p>I bet when you play poker you think of yourself as a &quot;professional gambler&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>3)This was just childish and arrogant. I can&#039;t even counter this because it&#039;s so silly.</p><p><br /></p><p>4)The elite have been fleecing the common people long before the internet. It&#039;s just that back in the day there was more control of the information. This is slowly being dealt with, as the Sherman Act is being eradicated loophole by loophole.</p><p><br /></p><p>In conclusion, I am not a libertarian, I don&#039;t hate commies, I think socialism is a good thing. By making things black and white as you are doing, this ends up becoming a football game that can&#039;t be won. No &quot;school&quot; will work because of human nature. That&#039;s why it takes more than one &quot;school&quot; of thought to keep a society functioning.</p><p><br /></p><p>So at the end of this any point I tried to make has been lost in a sea of misdirection. Nice job. Still doesn&#039;t negate the fact that silver has value just like crude oil, even more so now that we can harness power from alternative sources but we can&#039;t make anything a better conductor than silver. And crude oil is a great analogy, as OPEC sets the prices. Who sets the prices on silver?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
