<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1531643, member: 26302&quot;]Inflexion, there is a little story I will relate that you may think is unrelated but please bear with me.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the late 60&#039;s an admitted former prostitute and drug addict who had been arrested and in jail numerous times wrote a memoir. In that memoir she told many provable falsehoods, but in a little section she talked about J Edgar Hoover and his sexual interests. She said he liked to dress up like a woman.</p><p><br /></p><p>J Edgar Hoover had made many enemies over his 4 decades in charge of the FBI, many criminal, many honest citizens whose rights had been violated. All of them latched onto this comment from this book to tell everyone they could that J Edgar Hoover was a crossdresser and sexual deviant. If you look up nearly any source on the man you will read that he was a cross dresser. Almost none of these &quot;sources&quot; will report where this accusation came from, that is was from a book from a former druggie and prostitute whom by her activities had a serious hatred of any law enforcement, you will simply read it reported as a &quot;fact&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I am not a Hoover lover, I believe he violated citizens rights, but I tell you this story to see the danger and falsehood of believe that simply because one person makes something up, and many others who WISH to believe its true repeat it, DOES NOT mean its true. The source of a comment, and data to back it up, and the source of the data, are all needed. If not, its simply rumor mongering for who knows what purpose.</p><p><br /></p><p>I write this sir not even to argue about silver, but to let you know how much this occurs. I could fill a book with items reported as &quot;facts&quot; by many that are all simply rumors and lies thought up by one person but then repeated by others so much that many simply believe &quot;it must be true if all of these people are saying it&quot;. If I were you, and wish to base your investment decisions on the &quot;fact&quot; about above ground silver, I sure would wish to KNOW where is came from, who said it, and what facts he had to prove it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
