.....and, other than a Krugerand many years ago, have never done so. Any suggestions as to where gold
can be purchased? I'm thinking coins, or something tangible, that I can give as Christmas presents. -- John H. Hope you're having a great day! |

That Caribou coin is nice, and the Caribou are in the news up here because oil development in Alberta is intruding on their migration routes.
Personally I like the cheaper coin showing HMS Shannon defeating USS Chesapeake during the war of 1812. Shannon sailed from Halifax and dragged the Chesapeake back here. Some nice local history remembered. |

If you buy gold when its price tanks and then sell it if it rises substantially, then you've made money with active investment. If you buy it and sit on it and sit on it and think that it will be worth a lot more if and when the world economy collapses, than you're a fool. Now, if you give a woman some pretty gold jewelry, that's a worthwhile investment in your relationship, and you don't have to concern yourself with what the price of an ounce of gold is on a given day. |

Yup, the Alberta gov't would be right at home in Texas.
They want to lease every last square kilometer of wilderness to the oil factions. |

Well, that certainly is a very good example of your stupidity!! Hint: that sentence would show an intelligent person that there IS a problem with them because of the roads. What do the roads have to do with anything. Wolves move through the woods just fine. Wolves, like all intelligent species prone to the laws of nature, take the path of least resistance. But, just like electricity, they will take all paths I suspect there are other forces at work here. My guess is that there is a thriving hunting industry for the caribou and other big herbivores and the government wants them to be plentiful. The indigenous people have hunted caribou forever, as have bears, wolves, etc. When you shift the delicate balance in nature, it's never a good outcome. I doubt Alberta is thinking about indians with bows. They have a very lucrative hunting industry with people coming in from all over the world. My bet is they are protecting that industry I am not sure what the natural control on wolves is there but I suspect they are under pressure too. See above, ie: balance of nature. My question was what controls wolves. I do not know the answer. It might simply be starvation. They eat all the pray and decline or move away. When the game rebounds they come back. My wife has that sort of ecosystem at her club. They go from too many rabbits to a lot of bobcats. It cycles back and forth. They are in the "too many rabbits" right now but I am sure the bobcats are coming soon and we will get more pictures like this. http://gfretwell.com/wildlife/Bobcat...%20through.jpg How wonderful to be able to see that sort of scene. |
