<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikem2000, post: 2137441, member: 30574&quot;]I don&#039;t believe that is true, our &quot;love&quot; for Gold is a learned trait, and not something that is innate.&nbsp; If you disagee, why is it that entire cultures held Gold in no higher respect than any other rock.&nbsp; Our own natives Americans, had to &quot;learn&quot; from the Europeans of Golds &quot;worth&quot;.&nbsp; Until then, it was just a curiuos rock that was too soft to form into a spearhead, so they threw it back into the river. They were not the exception to the rule either.&nbsp; Many other cultures had the same attitude towards Gold.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I don&#039;t think the shine theory holds true, as folks would mysteriously collecting and hording aluminum foil, if it were just the shine.&nbsp; Certainly our youngsters would be picking up every bit they found if it was something built into our DNA, but that does not happen.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>They reason folks are willing to almost anything for Gold is not a desire for they metal itself, but the thought of all the fiat it can be converted to.&nbsp; I mean you can&#039;t spend a doubloon, right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
