“The main problem in any democracy is that crowd-pleasers are generally brainless swine who can go out on a stage and whup their supporters into an orgiastic frenzy—then go back to the office and sell every one of the poor bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece.”
Hunter S. Thompson
“A country that tolerates evil means—evil manners, standards of ethics—for a generation, will be so poisoned that it never will have any good end.”
Sinclair Lewis, It Can't Happen Here
"Tell the world that you're going with truth. You're going with justice, you're going with goodness, and you will have an eternal companionship. And the world will look at you and they won't understand you, for your fiery furnace will be around you, but you'll go on anyhow. But if not, I will not bow, and God grant that we will never bow before the gods of evil."
Martin Luther King

The Dollar was markedly lower.
Gold and silver were nominally higher.

Today is the national election day in the US.
Let's see how things go, and how the markets react tomorrow.
Life is a school of probabilities, and consequences.
Have a pleasant evening.
