THE Best Primer on Gold Standard, as presented by Dr.Ron Paul, in 1995.
Some of you may already have, but personally, I've never seen this until today. I find this to be one of the best, most simple, succinct explanation of case for gold. I'd recommend it to ANYONE and EVERYONE, especially your family members and/or friends on the fence, or anyone you know that are perplexed by monetary issues, or those who erroneously and simply dismiss those who pursue honest monetary policies as "gold bugs," or calling it "arcane 19th Century thinking."
Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul is one of the best mentors on this topic. As if I don't already, but this makes me respect him even more. Talk about consistency of principles; he speaks as sincerely and frankly today, as he did then.

Ron Paul debated Milton Friedman!
I wish there was a video of this occurrence!

I believe there are several versions of it out there, now.
Which is GREAT!
Though I believe the one posted in 2007 may have been the original. Regardless, it's great to see, once a copy gets on, it proliferates into multiple copies. LOVE the Net!
good videos
Thanks
Ron Paul, to me above all else, is an educator.
I recognize that many in the R3VOLution felt deflated that he exited the campaign too early. But, without Ron Paul hammering away on NON-interventionism, Anti-War tradition of REAL American Conservatives in the vein of Barry Goldwater, sound money, and most importantly, the DANGERS of Federal Reserve policies, he would not be as ubiquitous today.
I think as far as I can see, he's on TV and other MSM outlet, almost everyday. To that end, I believe no one since the illegal founding of the Fed.Reserve in 1913, has done more to shed light on its existence than the Doctor. Almost anyone remotely interested in politics has at least heard of it now. And presciently has wisely made it an issue, as everyone is affected by it, today, as we see the sour fruit of the engineered economic collapse that is fast unfolding before us, with what seems to be no end in sight. I just hope we can focus and turn this into a non-partisan populist support when the vast citizenry finally realize once and for all that both Bush and oBOMBa deceived them, every step of the way; waking up to the reality of the false L. vs. R. paradigm.
Ron Paul is truly a mentor to all those who seek knowledge. I pray for his health in run up to 2012. Fingers crossed...
