Dollar bills are inefficient, inconvenient and a waste of taxpayer
money. Every other country in the world has realized the affect of
inflation and has adjusted their coin/bill system. Why haven't we?

Your last paragraph contains the answer to its own question. There is
a contingent here in the good ole U.S.A. that has determined that
anything and everything that is done in another country is suspect, and
therefore, no good.


And to further that thought:

If you dare speak of how things are done in another country, even if
only as a basis for comparison, you are implying that it is better than
the U.S.A. and therefore you are unpatriotic.

Billy, if you lived in the U.S. you would know how often this viewpoint
emanates from pulpit, pundit, and politician. No :-) is appropriate here.

I thought that it might but I was giving him the chance to change my
perception of him as a moron. Billy

Your use of the term "moron" corroborates the allusion I made to talk radio
in another post.

It's not a term that I use lightly but if he wants to live in a country
where his statement is true, the one about not agreeing with every decision
made by one's government makes one unpatriotic and not supporting our
troops, he should move to Iran or North Korea. Billy

Yeah, we hear that one all the time, too. I think, though, that you may
have interpreted the dark humor 180 degrees out of phase. But rather than
belabor the point, I think I'll stop right here.

Joe public is naturally resistant to change and governments have a duty
to
make common sense decisions, a bit of an oxymoron I know, but it's a
national disgrace that the USA is still producing a one dollar bill.



I can think of a lot of things that rank much higher on the scale of
"national disgrace" than producing a one dollar bill.



OhMiGawsh! They still have a one dollar NOTE?

Oooohhhhh, the shame...

You forgot to say "Oh the humanity!" ;D

That is almost as bad as the American refusal to adopt the metric
system.


The truth is worse; the US actually did adopt the metric system back in
1865... as a basis for defining its traditional measuring units. Thus,
no one noticed.

I agree that a only a moron would really believe what I wrote. I figured
the sarcasm would be obvious. Sorry for the confusion.
