Now do me a favor and go to the following Kitco link and vote for Lemerande. If he wins this thing he gets to write on the Kitco website for a year, and he will write much about Kimber during that time. He's a big shareholder. Believe me. Bull

  Green Eggs and the Gold Confiscation Scam

  

  That Sam I Am,
  That Sam I Am,
  I do not like that Sam I Am.

  Do you like a gold confiscation scam?

  I do not like a gold confiscation scam.
  I do not like it, Sam I Am.
  I tell you Sam; can you not see? A confiscation scam will never be.

  Never you say? Such a long time to last,
  when governments can change their minds so fast.
  You pride yourself on such permanent things
  when but a few generations ago you were ruled by kings.
  It happened here once, and you know it's true,
  Executive Order six-one-zero-two.
  Today citizens live who were alive way back then.
  They know it happened once. Couldn't it happen again?

  Sam, in those days was a much different situation.
  A gold standard ruled over our great depressed nation.
  Gold was exchangeable at any bank in the land.
  If you walked in with dollars, you left with gold in your hand.
  Currency's worth did not float freely and sweetly.
  It was tied to a standard that has disappeared quite completely.
  Citizens held to it tightly then as if some precious jewel.
  Behavior most deplorable to the Keynesian School.
  Thus, you can see why F.D.R. had to do what he did
  to get money moving, not hoarded and hid.

  So you claim confiscation cannot happen this way,
  because our currency is pure fiat here now today?
  But one error you are making, though some might think it funny.
  Surely things can change. Gold can again become money.
  And although some in government might fancy themselves clever,
  no unbacked currency has yet lasted forever.

  Anything is possible, Sam, I hear what you say.
  But a return to gold money? Into madness you stray!
  What's to be used as money is the prerogative of man,
  not metals we dig from the stone and the sand.
  Sure, belief is essential, but we choose our money and sages.
  And our Fed's not constrained by the habits of ages.

  So money is philosophy then, less touch and more feel.
  And the less that we believe in things, the less that they're real?
  When from an ancient golden standard we've so recently been estranged,
  Are we so mighty that by our power-of-will these things we have all changed?
  Or does some hidden force view us quietly now, judging patiently sheer insanity?
  About to show why the greatest sin, is not greed but unchecked vanity?

  My goodness Sam, how fervently and philosophically do you wax.
  But I fear that your most definite need is simply to relax.
  So powerful! The dollar will not fail. ?Tis the globe's best option, see?
  No return for us to gold will happen; this can be known with certainty.
  Sam, I hate to say it, but the situation's much different this time.
  The U.S. dollar is by needs unstoppable, and will continue its steady climb.
  In the face of mighty deficits, in the face of angry loathing,
  it will buy us our cars and ipods. It will buy us all our clothing.
  It will outlast the currency of Rome, that of Carthage and of Spain.
  The dollar rises always upwards in its sacred, eternal campaign.

  Are you a conspiracy theorist, Sam? So little do you know.
  Or a dealer in numismatics? You badmouth our currency so.
  Government plans we should respect. They are there to protect and serve us.
  What profession do you partake in except simply to unnerve us?

  I know this well my faithful friend, and it is my greatest joy
  to protect and serve my fellow man, for I am in our government's employ.
  But as of late, have you seen the news? The dollar's death's impending.
  And all around this great nation of ours, folks have stopped their spending.
  So I hate to inform you that things do change, and as my story is now all told.
  With this gun that I aim at your head, I order you, “Hand me over all your gold.”

  Oh Sam I Am, Oh Sam I Am, I do not like this Sam I Am. I do not like this gold confiscation scam.

  All right, enough of that rhyming crap! Just hand over the gold.
