@Brent cv,

I'm sure some one could think up a electronic gizmo that could do it easy. Casino one arm bandits do it all the time.

@Brent cv,

In a sense ( no pun intended ) they are correct , it must be hard for the blind to keep track of US bills . In my travels around the world , I saw many currencies that came in different sizes and colors , and the reason was to enable the illiterate and handicapped to use the currency . I don't see a problem with these changes . Why MUST we keep ours as it has been , just because it has been that way a long time ?

I guess you're not a conservative, based on that last statement, curmudgeon

I am more conservative than that position might lead you to believe , but am really an independent in most ways , leaning to the right .
A mugwump , as my father would have said - sitting squarely on the fence with my mug on one side and my wump on the other .

Most Independents I'm aware of aren't as conservative as you are. Very Happy

I try to stay away from labelling when possible .

My thoughts on currency have little to do with my thoughts on politics .
One gains some perspective not available to most when one travels as I did in my youth .
I spent 4 years in Tanzania , East Africa after college graduation in 1965 . The experiences gained there and in world travel colored my political thinking quite a bit , and not in the way the typical Peace Corps volunteer has been perceived .

Another reason to not label people , especially with only what they say on forums as ammunition .

I am not a greenie , tho I do think some movement needs to be made towards more conservation .

I guess I'm Greener by your standards. Your not as Independent as you claim by the posts I see on here. You may be closer to moderate.IMO

@Brent cv,

Do you not see that a person may consider himself independent , even though some of his feelings fall on each side of the line between Right and Left ?
Neither party really has a lock on my vote or allegience . I do vote mostly on the right , though , since there seems to be no middle party .

@Brent cv,

I asked my window coverings and they said they didnt care what was printed on money since they couldn't go anywhere to spend it...

However I've heard them whispering about me late at night and I'm beginning to get concerned..
