This just makes me laugh - oddly the comparison between our government and this show is not that far off. If you don't know what "V" is, watch tonight.  If you can't wait, it is about Aliens landing on Earth, telling the inhabitants they are there to help solve their problems.  Unfortunately the Aliens (known as the Visitors or V) are really monsters who secretly eat the humans.  It is a remake of the 80's tv series which was great.  I am looking forward to it tonight!  It is a good reminder, thise who promise you something to good to be true, always have ulterior motives!

Gold surges to new record high

Just a guess, but this probably has something to do with the government destroying the dollar, foreign governments expectation the dollar will weaken even more, and the fact that current U.S. monetary policy will leads us into "banana republic" inflation!

The Challenge of Democracy (6th edition), by Kenneth Janda, Jeffrey Berry, and Jerry Goldman

Liberals favor government action to promote equality, whereas conservatives favor government action to promote order.
Libertarians favor freedom and oppose government action to promote either equality or order.

Quote from Harry Browne

Libertarian author and politician Harry Browne wrote: "We should never define Libertarian positions in terms coined by liberals or conservatives – nor as some variant of their positions. We are not fiscally conservative and socially liberal. We are Libertarians, who believe in individual liberty and personal responsibility on all issues at all times. You can depend on us to treat government as the problem, not the solution."

Definition of Libertarianism

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy states "libertarianism holds that agents initially fully own themselves and have moral powers to acquire property rights in external things under certain conditions." It notes that libertarianism is not a “right-wing” doctrine because of its opposition to laws restricting adult consensual sexual relationships and drug use, and its opposition to imposing religious views or practices and compulsory military service. However, it notes that there is a version known as “left-libertarianism” which also endorses full self-ownership, but "differs on unappropriated natural resources (land, air, water, etc.)." "Right-libertarianism" holds that such resources may be appropriated by individuals. "Left-libertarianism" holds that they belong to everyone and must be distributed in some egalitarian manner.
