Ron Paul always has groupies following him-they are probably the ones who went nuts when he talked about the gold standard. You listen to any of the Republican presidential debates, you will hear a loud cheering whenever he goes on about "empire"; not an average response for a GOP audience. I don't think the average Tonight Show audience feels strongly about previous metals and our currency, unless survialists or late 19th century Populists happen to show up. _________________________________________________________________ Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Café.
