Well, I guess you could pour fuel on them and light them on fire.

Zombies don't exist. The Weimar republic and Greece 2010, are historical facts....still funny, wit.

I like John Stewart too, and I'm a right wing extremist. Colbert in the bunker made me laugh. I'm just about as right wing as you can find. I'm not building a bunker, although I'll admit, I have a lot of bullets. It's a funny stereotype and right wingers have the ability to laugh at themselves. Do you?

What does this have to do with illegal gold!

I want to get on a Silver Standard instead of a gold standard..... overall Silver is signficantly more usefull than gold for many reasons -
1. It's antibacterial, even though no one knows exactly way; something to do with simalarities to heavy metals but whatever.

2. It's the best metal at conducting electricity.

3. It's shiny and somewhat rare in nature

4. It's easy to remove tarnish (aluminum foil; baking soda; and hot water)

ignore the spelling mistakes, because I don't care anymore >;o

Silver is more useful, and if the dollar crashes, so will gold. Silver will remain strong, and we may see it climb to a higher price than gold.

In a failed economy, gold won't really have a use. The only reason gold is valuable is because people are willing to trade for it. The dollar is just paper, but someone is willing to trade a good or service for it. Gold really has no use except it looks nice and it gets placed on overpriced cables. A failed economy doesn't return to the gold standard.

If the economy collapsed or if society as we know it ended abruptly, gold won't do you any good. Bottles of water, clothes, food, and oil are going to be worth more than gold.

Personally I am saving all of my bottlecaps. Once the nuclear holocaust ends I am going to be filthy rich.
