I've also been thinking a lot about gold, thanks to those commercials. Don't you find it strange that we value something for the simple fact that it is pretty? I suppose it's rare, but gold isn't a particularly strong metal, so it's not at all practical in use. It's value is based strictly on the shallow tastes of we humans.
Don't even get me started on the idea of the entire US Treasury being based on the gold standard....Platinum and diamonds I can understand. At least they're hard.
Am I just missing some very important aspect of gold that makes it worth caring about?
I think gold sucks--it causes nothing but strife.
