I own some gold and silver. With that said - I can't see any way that you can move back to a gold standard without confiscating all gold away from private parties - or making it illegal to own. People may hide it in the ground or walls of their house or whatever, but it's going to get confiscated. There can never, ever be a free market system as we would want to see. The only way to accomplish that is to totally dismantle everything and start from scratch... and that's not likely to happen given the populations reliance on govt. All this liberty talk is just that - talk, unless people break away from the system and become totally self-reliant, self sufficient and tell govt. to take a hike and act on it.
