Silver

Financial advisors and promoters have been pushing investors and even normal people to buy lots of gold. Now they are pushing them to buy silver as well. Silver is cheaper and more affordable. You can't eat it or drink it or build homes with it or sew it into a garment or use it as a towel but it has value because people want it (for some strange reason.) Figure that one out.

Fairy tale

It has been a while - perhaps a month since I last came by here. I read a short article the other day about some anthropologist who has been doing research for a long, long time into how monkeys live. The purpose of all the studying is supposedly to figure out how the knowledge gained can be applied to human behavior. I think the real purpose is to earn a paycheck so that the anthropologist can buy groceries. This person - it is to be expected - is a believer in the fairy tale called evolution. The human race has been carrying this albatross around its neck long enough. I am not God's advocate - He does not need one - but if you just think about how every species - whether animal, plant, or human - procreates, the existence of a Supreme Being is entirely undeniable. If anyone has faith in the falsehood we call evolution, it is only because they want to - there is truly no evidence to support it. It is all conjecture. One cannot believe that the Jupiter Symphony exists and then say that Mozart didn't write it. Please.
