Its too bad the author misses an opportunity to educate readers on the real purpose behind high denomination bills. It's really quite simple: Prior to 1934 - when people said the word money they understood it to be real gold or silver - just like the constitution says. All paper 'money' was merely a promissory note or ...more

What a misnomer your moniker is - should be "Iamacoward". Whether its cats, dogs, birds, squirrels, small children, or old folks. Anyone that threatens violence against a less capable being is a coward plain and simple.

Three things: White Feather58 - I hope you find the peace in death, that your twisted mind and soul have not found in life.

Got to shake my head on this one. Are people so insecure with their bodies that they feel the need to have a do over, by making themselves prepubescent? Androgyny as a national mindset?

You would have thought he was trying to argue that the South really won the American Civil War or something - Simply amazing. Let me first address a few of the hypocracies that...more

Best retirement plan - ever - is gold. Buy it, sock it away, and forget about it. Its called capital protection. The old timers knew that, and now here we are, back to the future.   Oh, and don't tell me that stocks always outperform any other investment. That's the same propaganda line as realtors saying 'buy as mu...more

Can the end of America as we know it be that far away, when a fairly conservative economic columnist gets savaged by neo-cons for simply raising the question of recovery having parallels to a chapter from the Great Depression?
