I always thought that idea of oil being limited, and due to dead animals sounded too far fetched.

It is far fetched. Oil comes from dead marine plant matter. Coal comes from dead terrestial plant matter.

Today's paper money has no value, it's value is artificially made by declaration on the fiat bills where it says this bill is good for all debts public and private.

Great, send me all the paper money you've got. I'll give you a couple of old dimes for it.

"My BS meter went into overdrive in grade school."

Another thing that seemed like BS to me, but I didn't question until recently was the fact that my great great,....grandfather was a monkey and his great...grandfather was an earthworm. There was a chart that showed a little monkey, getting bigger and bigger and presto, a human arrived. I felt so sorry for the monkeys that were left behind and didn't change into humans.

'When are we going to run out of oil?'

This strawman continues to live and breathe even though demolished, squashed, and incinerated over and over.

Yes - but how do so many dead bacteria get under miles of metamorphic rock - and under pre life salt domes?

"the price of silver today at roughly $11.88/ozt "

That was a short lived blip for silver - it averages far less than that.
