In a civilized society, should anyone or any government ever force anyone to do anything against his or her will as long as that person does not infringe upon the life, liberty, or property of another?

May I cash these in for Euros?

As you can read in this article, the euro is now being accepted here in America as the dollar continues to lose credibility. Isn't that one of the reasons most empires begin their slide - the currency becomes worthless?

Soon we'll see commercials similar to those old Visa commercials. You know the ones, where they tout a particular store or restaurant, and in the end the guy says: "But if you want to eat here, you better bring your Visa card, because they don't accept American Express." So the future commercials will say: "But if you want to eat here, you better bring your Euros, because they don't accept American dollars."

The root cause? The Federal Reserve, since its creation in 1913, has inflated the dollar down to 4 cents. That's why you're working so hard. The printed money your using to buy your groceries doesn't buy much anymore. Gas, eggs, milk, anyone?
