This is inspirational. Think of admiring the same dollar for the same reasons - only its tucked into a G-String!

I'm about value add.

We were coming together as one nation. In the Eagle's beak you will read, "E PLURIBUS UNUM", meaning, "one nation from many people".

Thanks for posting this, Marvin.

Happy 4th!

I feel compelled to point out that a dollar is a unit of measurment of gold or silver coin just as a quart is a unit of measurement of milk.

Actually, the US dollar came from the Spanish Dollar, a coin in wide use in the Colonies at the time of the Revolution, being defined as a coin containing 24.44 grams (or a little under an ounce) of pure silver, which became the basis for the US silver dollar

Happy 4th my favorite patriot whom I still owe a poem to.

...and the British unit of money, the "pound sterling", per Adam Smith (the original Adam Smith, author of "Wealth of Nations"), was defined as being literally a pound (by weight) of sterling silver

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Arne!!! So good to see you. Awww, I love your poems.

Happy 4th to you, too!

One piece of additional information. The present design is from 1963 when the silver certificates of the 1957 issue were replaced with the present Federal Reserve Notes.

I never understood the number 13 voodoo. I thought the mystique was about the Betraying Apostle. I don't know, Dan Marino and Wilt Chamberlin wore the number and they had o.k. careers.

But, how deluded do you need to be to think that hotels just skipped developing one floor so there'd be no psychotic episodes from the supersticious Head Shrinker Group from New Guinea.

My buddy and I were riding up an elevator in Vegas and four guaranteed Dakotan seasoned citzens pushed the 14 button and my pal looks at me and goes "just because you call the 13th floor the 14th doesn't mean you're not 13th floor doomed." Nice guy. I think a room change was soon on the agenda for the folks just there to wander slowly and aimlessly among the noisy machines and really looking forward to enjoying the show the two Tiger guys put on and hoping they're not really gay.

The great thing about my poetry is that is not shackled by meter, rhyme or structure.

It's more like a memorandum.

Askel better watch out, Freeper "Eskimo" might come by and club her.

Be careful who you summon.

Be careful who(m) you summon.

Too late.

Thanks! Happy 4th to you and yours!

Let's see if we can just paste the real time LibertyPost forum into this thread. It's an outreach program. Fully funded by the Americorps New Technology Seed Fund, a subsidiary of HUD/HHS Enterprise Capital & Sports Management Partnership LLC.
