Current (Above Ground) World Population: approx 7.1 billion people. Estimated Remaining Above Ground Silver: (Always disputed, but) 1.04 billion ounces.
Historically, the top 1% of the world's population owns 34% of the worlds wealth. 1.04 billion oz*.34= 353.6 million oz owned by new 1% 1% of worlds population = 71 million people. 353.6 million oz/71 million people = 5 oz per
To be a 1%er in the new silver economy? Own 5 oz. Feel rich?
(I know this is rediculous and short-sighted, but it's still fun.)

Now let's pretend somehow America owns all the world's silver Current (Above Ground) American Population: 316 million people. 1% of us population. 3.16 million 353.6 million oz/3.16 million people = 111.89 0z
To be a 1% if America owned all above ground silver? Own 111.89 oz. Still Attainable, all. STACK ON.

indeed, when i considered Bro. Obaat's OP, first thing that came to mind were these words:
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around me, Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday
then i heard that familiar opening synth riff....and these words:
And I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again
Change it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fall that's all But the world looks just the same
man! how can a guy say it better than that?!.....so i'll looked around to see if i could find what Pete (Townshend) was trying to say, and i found this, (this is good stuff)
"Townshend stated in 2006 that: "It is not precisely a song that decries revolution – it suggests that we will indeed fight in the streets – but that revolution, like all action, can have results we cannot predict. Don't expect to see what you expect to see. Expect nothing and you might gain everything. The song was meant to let politicians and revolutionaries alike know that what lay in the centre of my life was not for sale, and could not be co-opted into any obvious cause."
"NOT FOR SALE"..........love it!!......and gang, here's the kicker, the cherry on the cake, you're gonna love this, ya'll gonna be giggling....its always fun when hypocrites get told, "NOT FOR SALE".
"Director Michael Moore wanted to play the song["Won't Get Fooled Again"] over the closing credits of Fahrenheit 9/11, but Townshend refused to allow him to do so, saying "[o]nce I had an idea what the film was about, I was 90% certain my song was not right for them."
so, Ray, bro. OBAAT, crew members, this is for us:
Thanks for the perspective, Neil! It was great dinner music.

111.89 ounces? I wish I could afford to buy 1 ounce.
