New What's it's ALL ABOUT
Dollar vs. Euro as global standard - not to mention Chinee money - what's that called? Luan? as Pacific Rim calibration.

The US loses everything when the US dollar is no longer the basic unit of value.

Needless to say, the current approach will simply hasten that fate.

Light is heavy:
R{} = (2R/W)T - (1/2W){D-2,D-2}W

Heavy is light:
(D-3)(RF[] + 5/4 g) = 0

This is also a big issue wrt:the underworld economy, where the US $ is held because of the large denomination bills availible combined with the high valuation of the currency itself. Supposedly 30% of all availible US bills are in the hands of the grey+black market.

And some people are nervous they could transition to the Euro, due to the higher valuation bill (IIRC 1000 euro bill v.s. $500 bill is the top, but could be wrong - just know that there is a larger euro bill than $ bill) kicking the dollar out of it's place as compact and portable.

Talk about a double whammy...
After 9/11, Bush made two statements:
1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity."
2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism."

Sounds like everything is going according to plan.

I liked Dragon Ball Z better; it didn't try as hard to be idiotic.
