You certainly can take a relatively light comment and turn it into a chore, can't you? Later.

I had to use a polysyllabic word there. I've probably lost you.) He is not the court. He is not the President. He is not the House or Senate. What he wants does not matter. He must take his case to the court. The judge must rule that he is right. Then that ruling can be appealed. (damn. "appealed" is too big. probably lost you again) If the government (lost you again) has lost all the way to the USSC, then they must change the money. Only when ALL of those things happen, will we have to change the money. At which point, you say it will be too expensive. But we're already changing the quarters 50 times. Pennies Nickles Dimes Quarters Half-Dollars Dollar coins Dollar bills $2 $5 $10 $20 $50 $100 etc. Even if we changed ALL the money, it would STILL be FEWER changes than we are currently going through VOLUNTARILY with the quarters. Again. #1. What he WANTS does not matter. #2. He has to go through the SYSTEM to get his WANTS enacted. #3. Even if he wins ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE SYSTEM.....the impact will be less than what we're going through right now. Is there is ANYONE other than Mr. Pathetic who has a PROBLEM understanding the situation?

He still has to take it through the system, which has to agree with him, before any changes are even contemplated. Mr. Pathetic, instead of addressing my position, skips to another, more easily disproven position and introduces "Nah...doubt it...he's too afraid of the big bad wolf." I didn't say he was afraid. I didn't say he was not afraid. But this is what Bill "Strawman" Pathetic will switch to. And the reason for that is because Bill was unprepared with facts to discuss this issue. #1. The case against the money has NOT been brought to trial. #2. Until it IS brought to trial and ruled upon, discussions about the rulling (which hasn't happened yet) are meaningless. #3. We're already spending MORE than what it would cost to re-do the existing money by RE-DOING the existing quarters.
