User talk:Seagull76/Dark side of Gold

This is an editorial, it does not belong on Wikinews as it does not conform to the neutral point of view. --Brian McNeil / talk 20:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not qualified to judge the article's merits since I am not familiar with the subject under discussion. However, the first sentence sounded a bit odd. As of November 20, 2011 gold is at $1720.30 / troy ounce. At that price, 750 kg would be $41,481,697.03. How much toxic material would get spewed into the environment to produce that much worth of wheat or rice? Or cars? Or McDonald's cheeseburgers? I don't know, but that would be something to look into. Otherwise, even if it's true, it sounds like propaganda. Zyxwv99 (talk) 02:30, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
