Also, about leaving out the poor: I told my father and my sister that I have the cure. They didn't believe me. My sister in law got pancreatic cancer. I don't talk to my brother, but they certainly could have told him I said that. I even told my father, I have the cure, they could ask me for it. I wouldn't let her suffer for no reason.

She recently died from it. I don't think they told him, or if they did, he didn't believe it, which is doubtful. We aren't on speaking terms because he understands my mind dwarfs his to an unimaginable degree. So if he'd been told, he might have asked, to save his wife. But he did not. Why? Because if they realize I am being truthful, then they can't discount me as a weirdo anymore.

And they want to do that. People would go to any length to save their pride, even sacrificing their loved ones. What's the link with poor people you ask?

Even poor people can find say $2,000. Them and their loved ones together can scrape that much together. No problem.

No matter how you slice it, the money isn't really an issue. There are other issues that are a much greater obstacle.

That's a story that might make some sad. They are foolish for not trusting their family member.

Especially when the doctors have nothing better. Might as well trust your brother than some faceless goon of GovCorp, even if you think he is a loon.

I don't think you are a loon though.

Do you know where I might purchase some silver?

Depends which country you're in. In the USA, I like goldsilver.com and in Canada I like silvergoldbull.ca

I like 1oz rounds, they are small enough to be easily spent, and don't carry the "stigma" of a face value, which coins are saddled with. Nothing worse than saying this coin has $100 worth of silver in it, but the denomination reads $5.

I appreciate these answers. Thank you.
