<p>[QUOTE=&quot;easttexasautos, post: 1993976, member: 72157&quot;]I figured I would post this relevant clip of Stephen Colbert&#039;s recent broadcast. If you don&#039;t know, John Stuart and Stephen Colbert are very popular comedic news programs for my generation (18-30). </p><p><br /></p><p>It is obviously spun to make using gold money appear ancient, barbaric and totally incompatible with modern society. But it still gives you a good idea of what information/disinformation that the masses are receiving on the topic. </p><p><br /></p><p>I only wish that Stephen bought his cup of starbucks coffee with 1 silver quarter and received no change. Of course, that scenario would be far too convenient and practical to show the audience. It may turn on a few light bulbs and get a minority of the audience to start asking questions as to the real reasons why we don&#039;t use gold/silver.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/369834/january-04-2011/gold-faithful" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/369834/january-04-2011/gold-faithful" rel="nofollow">http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/369834/january-04-2011/gold-faithful</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
