I was comparing the present situation in the silver market to a long & difficult siege like Mafeking in South Africa in 1900 & Lucknow in India in 1857. They lasted 6 to 7 months whereas our siege is still ongoing. I'll let McGonagall have the last word:
"Then a sepoy clubbed his musket & hit Kerr on the head But fortunately the blow didn't kill him dead" (The Hero of Kalapore )
"And during the siege Colonel Baden Powell was cheerful and gay While the starving population was living on (dead horse)brawn each day"
We silver bugs are in desperate need of heroic action & a change of diet.
