Lets be like China and put Mao on every bill.

Or if people in the US don't like Mao that much we can do like Washington.

Has always seemed like an odd choice, even for a non-circulating bill that most people don't even know exists.

Because the question that will always come after "We have a $10,000 bill?" is "Who the gently caress is that?".

Quote of the day, "Terrorists don't announce their flights before they take off." ~ Doug Hughes, who was arrested after crashing a gyrocopter into the Capitol grounds as part of a protest against money in politics.


The Capitol Police are currently using a bomb squad robot to investigate the crashed copter :rolleyes:

Well, the sad part is there were a lot of freed slaves with the last name Douglass, because the Douglass family let all their slaves go (which meant they owned a lot in the first place).

Originally he put himself on the $1 and Lincoln on the $2 because obviously the President should be on the more valuable bill, not the fact that he was running for President even as a member of Lincoln's cabinet and wanted to be on the more widely circulated bill.

The Civil War actually began because the southern states secceeded in protest against Lincoln's proposed Postmaster General, a man who would have taken control over the post from states' right to Federal jurisdiction, thus opening up the mail in the south to receive northern newspapers which were allowed to publish subversive information, such as slavery being a cruel practice.
