What baffles me is that I don’t ever see Mexico helping with such a platform. They seem to always be stuck on having an open border. The way the Mexican citizens have to enter this Country is inhumane, yet the Mexican govt seems to support this as a way to keep the system.

The USA is Mexico’s steam valve. People desperate enough to pay thousands of dollars (and these are poor people mind you) for the chance to cross a dangerous border in order to work long hours in difficult conditions in order to feed themselves and their families are at the breaking point. If they didn’t have El Norte as an option, they would be revolting en masse to take Mexico back from the ultra-wealthy families who control it. Actually a few of them are trying to do exactly that in Chiapas. Also remember that remittances to the families of illegal immigrants number in the billions per year. This is an important source of revenue to the Mexican economy. Mexico doesn’t care about these people any more than it does about the rest of its poor.

[quote=urbanrealtor]I know the usual libertarian tropes about precious metal standards and I am not interested in that discussion now.

My questions is this:
Since we don’t currently have a gold or silver standard, what is the importance of gold in long term government storage?

I am not arguing. Its a serious question and I would like to hear actual views on it.[/quote]

Maybe since it was paid for by the people, the people should know whether it is still there or not. I know that sounds crazy and all, but I think that’s the gist of it.

There is at least one other very valuable global commodity in the region as well. The Taliban had unwisely outlawed production of this important resource but it is being produced and exported in large quantities again.

PDF is the way to go. Macs come out-of-the-box with the ability to create PDF files. So scan it to a TIFF or JPG, then print to PDF and email that.
