re: Baby Boomer: You're killing our economy

No baby boomers are not. Parents becoming lazy, selfish, over indulgent and wanting everything for themselves kills economies.

From 1810 until 1910 the birthrate in the United States decreased by FIFTY PERCENT.

Don't blame it on the baby boomers, their parents or grandparents. Go back 200 years and blame it on capitalism.

Why suffer now to ensure you can prolong your suffering later?

it is an interesting question, as the collapse is almost inevitable

I'm not suffering. I've had my ups and downs but as a whole my life has been pretty good.

But why would I not want to do everything possible to preserve my bloodline and race? In my view not doing so would be cowardly.

I am thinking of becoming prepared to hunker down. I have guns, precious metals, an abode in the country, etc. There are some things that I do not have.

A reliable source of water. I could have someone drill a well and then later use it with a Honda pump. Or I could buy a copper still and use it for distilling water and making moonshine. I'd bet that liquor would be fairly valuable. I know how to raise tobacco, but waiting for it to cure could be problematic.

I am seriously considering going wide open throttle as a doomsday prepper. Even if I never need to be one it could be a lot of fun preparing for when the SHTF.

GTFU. If you ever have a child attend a school that requires uniforms you will love it.

For hiring purposes the Federal government allows applicants to claim the race with which they identify.

Once you buy your first house if you are paying attention then you know everything you need to about buying and selling residential real estate.

Well the North American Vexillogical Association disagrees with you. Are you a licensed Vexillogicist?

No, I'm not. And thank heavens for that. According to your vexillogical experts this is a "good" flag. I wouldn't wipe my butt with it.

I think that some flags with words are damn cool. For example that of the St. Augustine Independent Blues.

Any uncirculated CC Morgan attracts top dollar bids. Especially if the owner can prove it's been in the family for a long time and therefore not a recent counterfeit from China.

In 1972 the GSA sold off uncirculated CC Morgan silver dollars. I have several, including an 1879, which is rarest. The coins are all in plastic cases inside blue boxes with GSA provenance certificates. The owner of Scotsman Coin / Auction told me that because it is certifiably from the GSA hoard it adds a grand to the value.

I had a dozen silver dollars from 1900-1910. Gave them to my son 5 years ago. I encouraged him not to sell but to hand it down to grand son.

I have some that belonged to my grandparents and also the two that were in my great grandfather's pocket when he died. They will never be for sale at any price. But collectible coins void of sentimental value don't mean much to me.

Just out of curiosity, what are the offering to pay you?

Considerably more than the $4,450 it was listed at in my 2014 coin guide. Instead of selling it to them outright I am going to put it in their auction. Whatever it brings I will immediately convert to gold bullion.

No. I have an 1878, 1890 & 1891 CC Morgan.

If you want to sell them then I would recommend contacting Scotsman Coin / Auction in St. Louis.

I shopped my coins to three different dealers and Scotsman Coin / Auction was by far the most honest and professional that I found.

From the GSA hoard? If so then look for an 1879.

I have one and so does my cousin. My sister might too, but she is too lazy to get off her arse and go through the safe deposit box our father stocked for her.
