Are we not United States Citizens?

Are you aware, that different states within the United States of America follow different rules with regard the "type of services" a U.S. Citizen can receive. You ask, a U.S. Citizen? Yes, it's not enough you have a U.S. Passport it's also important where your from!

Well in Las Vegas, Nevada if you are a U.S. Citizen from California or Florida you get your way at the Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV.) But if your a U.S. Citizen, with U.S. Passport and valid driver's license from a U.S. Territory or U.S. Commonwealth your classified differently with regard to obtaining a driver's license. CAN YOU SAY DISCRIMINATION AND SECOND CLASS CITIZENS!!!

You have to take a written test and a driving test!!! Other's only have to take a written test.

Therefore, if your looking for a place with equality embedded with their way of life, you may want to rethink going to Las Vegas!

Where's Saipan?

Something for everyone, a young gentleman one day came up to me and said do you know where's Saipan? Well of course I said, yes, it's in the Pacific by Guam and Japan. The gentleman looked at me and said is it part of the U.S.? Once again, I said yes, it's a U.S. Commonwealth.

Therefore, for those you that don't know, please read below:

Saipan (pronounced /saɪˈpæn/, /saɪˈpɑn/, or /ˈsaɪpæn/ in English) is the largest island and capital of the United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), a chain of 15 tropical islands belonging to the Marianas archipelago in the western Pacific Ocean (15°10’51”N, 145°45’21”E) with a total area of 115.39 km² (44.55 sq mi). The 2000 census population was 62,392.

Located at latitude of 15.25° north and longitude of 145.75° east, about 200 km (120 mi) north of Guam, Saipan is about 20 km (12.5 mi) long and 9 km (5.5 mi) wide. It is a popular tourist destination in the Pacific. Ref. Wikipedia

Gold and Silver vs. Up and Down

In today's market, gold and silver has gone a long way. I first started buying gold when it was $269.00 an once and silver was at $3.75 an once. Those were the days, especially if you were collecting coins.

This year alone gold has seen prices at almost $1,000.00 and silver at $20.00 an once. Who knows we may see gold and silver at those prices if the money markets don't improve. One thing is certain, people are more cautious now with regard to putting all their eggs in one basket.

As of today (03/30/09 - 8:49 p.m.) gold is at $918.00 an once and silver is at $13.03 an once.

Money, what's it's value?

Money what's it's value? This is a question that I hear most often. Well let's try to answer this question with a few questions first:

1. How much is enough?

2. Is it more then gold or Silver?

3. What is the value of the green back (Paper currency)?

4. Who decides what's it's worth?

5. Is it paper, or is it money?

6. Do you have enough to survive?

Well first of all, it's made of paper, expensive paper and ink. Second, the stock markets have told you recently that you have lost the original value that they told you it was worth. Third, the government decides what's it's worth.

With that said, you should also ask yourself, what backs or supports the value of money? Is it gold? I'm sure by now you have an idea what's it's worth, and it's value, if you have answered the questions above.

Therefore, when your at the store buying something you need, remember it may be worth something today or it may be just paper tomorrow. Word of advice, do not keep your eggs in one basket.
