We have had a cumulative inflation rate of 2182 percent in nearly 100 years. The US currency was taken off the gold standard in 1933, and obviously this has not curbed inflation. Pegging our currency to a tangible source is one of many ways to protect it against inflation.</font></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Times New Roman"></font></span><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Times New Roman"></font></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><font face="Times New Roman"><br /></font></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
