Indeed, but gold as currency has a history far predating democracy, and 
it has a reasonably good track record, in the sense that it has always 
been worth _something_, unlike money. Something to do with the fact that 
it's pretty and shiny, as opposed to a paper IOU from some arbitrary 
entity that we have been conditioned to think can be always trusted to 
honour it. This notion we have been conditioned with is clearly false 
because existance of inflation implicitly demonstrates that the said 
entity cannot be trusted to honour it in any meaningful way.
