Goldmine Intersection: Playing

Playing

.
Playing Alchemist today. You should see my fingertips. Stained all purple and gold and red.

Wouldn't it be a kick to be able to achieve the dream of ages.........to turn a base lackluster metal such as lead or tin into that passion of Midas. Gold.

I saw a replica of the twin towers in New York rendered in 18 kt gold and all the windows were princess cut diamonds. Took 48 ounces of gold and of diamonds no total was given. Lets just guess that it took a bunch. Little Indian lady goldsmith put it together in her spare time. Some hobby huh? Makes my waxing of the old mustache seem tame by comparison.

Gold of course has been an object of desire for millennia now. The Isrelites were told to carry out of Egypt all the gold and other loot they could carry. Goldfinger in the Bond movie painted his girl friend all in gold. Gangstas put gold caps over their teeth and wear enough chains to prevent them from fleeing the scene of the crime by swimming the river. Buddhas in temples are made of gold. The Georgia Capitol building dome is coated in leaf gold.

And does all this ostentation enrich us at all, at all??

Update: At current market price of gold the Buddha is worth approx. 100 million US $

I saw the title RED HILL KUDZU, and I said to myself, THAT person lives in Georgia......and I was right. haha I also live in Kudzu country over some pretty red dirt.......; 1:06 PM
kdzu said...: Goldfinger did indeedie kill the girl. Not his usual thing in the original novels he would leave the backbone unpainted, have his perverted way with them and send them on their way. But this one betrayed him with Bond, James Bond.

I used to live on 73 acres just north of Red Hill, but now live near Athens where the dirts is still red, full of rocks and poor (pronounced POUR) as gully dirt.

Welcome, thanks for dropping by. Come back often.; 4:27 PM

Treason

Whereas, on the 14th of December, 2011, the House of Representatives of these United States voted in favor of indefinite military detention, without charges, of any American, anywhere, anytime, without due process of law, at the discretion of the government alone;

Whereas, on the 15th of December, 2011, the Senate of these United States voted in favor of the same bill;

Whereas, on the 31st of December, 2011, the President of the United States signed the same;

Whereas, the proscription against the use of military force to police the populous has been an essential feature of American civic life and civic liberty since the arrival of our civilization upon this continent;

Whereas, the wanton violation of this proscription was one of the chief causes of the separation of the American peoples from their government in Great Britain;

Whereas, the Constitution so chartering the government of these United States does not grant this power;

Whereas, the Constitution forbids the addition of any power not enumerated to the general government;

Whereas, the use of such draconian measures has been an essential feature of the enforcement of tyranny by totalitarian governments of the 20th century, including, but not limited to, the Nationalist-Socialist government of Germany, the fascist government of Italy, the government of the United Soviet Socialist Republics, and the government of Vietnam;

Whereas, the use of such draconian measures is carefully calculated to quash all political dissent amongst a captive people;

Whereas, the codification of such draconian measures effectively nullifies all civil liberties the people may hope to hold;

Whereas, the codification of such draconian measures are the last act in the quest to hold a people captive to the rapacious will of their government without recourse;

And whereas, the codification of such draconian measures is an act of war against the populous at large;

Therefore, be it declared that a STATE OF WAR formally exists between the Government of these United States and the People of these United States.

We, the People of these United States, declare any and all attempts to enforce the provisions of HR 1540 to be unlawful, void, and of no force.

We, declare ALL WHO voted in favor of HR 1540, and ALL WHO attempt to enforce HR 1540 to be traitors to these United States, punishable under law.

We, SHALL DISOBEY, APPREHEND, OR RESIST WITH DEADLY FORCE, in our discretion, any person who attempts to enforce the provisions of HR 1540.

We, SHALL NOT aggress against any employee of any American government who shall not attempt to enforce or aid and abet the enforcement of HR 1540, they being as trapped as the rest of the populous.

Such STATE OF WAR shall continue until HR 1540 is stricken from the code of law, and all who had hand in HR 1540 are brought to justice under due process of law.

Signed and witnessed by we, the individual citizens of these United States, below:
