Yes, and we take that for granted so much. Even a minor blip in the distribution system on a national basis and people will come completely unglued. Electrical grid faltering (no digibuks, no water wells, no cell phone service, no TV or computer), food supply/distribution system problems (no Mickey D's, no running to the store for some beers, no more smokes or steaks on the barbie), interruption of food stamps/welfare/social security checks, and that's before we consider an attack on our country by some stone age zealots or a large hurricane or a major earthquake in a significant urban area or...gasp...even $10 gasoline. That thin veneer of civility we all take as common will be quickly wiped away and we will be reminded why humans are the most feared and most successful predators on the planet. Those happy folk that think that all is well and that they will be taken care of by the leadership should give that concept further consideration. But, not to worry, things have a way of working themselves out...

The "thin veneer" statement is oh so true. During the '99 ice storm in the NE, the phone company had to use portable generators to run their remote digital office's after their batteries ran out. The generators were stolen as fast as they could be deployed, and each stolen generator represented several thousand people losing their dial tone. What would happen in a real emergency?? I shudder to think.

In all of these extreme cases , GOLD did not magically saved you but it probably made your life a lot easier than if you had none.

Never before in the history of mankind have there been six billion people and most of the food canme from factories. How long will New Yorkers survive shooting squirrels in Central Park then going home to protect their gold.
Never before have people beenm wholly dependent on the smooth operation of the infrastructure that delivers, water, food, clothing, and shelter. Never before have so many been dependent on medication and the "comforts" we take for granted.
If things break down you'd best bury your gold and head north. Just take a blanket and a knife because anything more will slow you down enough to make you dinner. >>
And several times in several different countries the large percentages of people did rely on government handouts and each time the people in those countries lives were reduced to a lifestyle that's a notch above animals.
