Reply #6: You should lose all the "guilty" flamebait at the beginning of your articl

It has nothing to do with the point you are trying to make about
currencies, and it drives away much of your potential audience.

But I blame Americans too. If Americans had the attention span and willingness to understand concepts more complex than Monday night football, we might have supported an Administration that would have taken the critical and immediate measures necessary to heal our economy.

We did understand. That is why a plurality of voters voted
for Al Gore for President in 2000. If he had not been robbed of
the election, he would have put us firmly on a path of conservation
and energy independence. Then people like Saddam Hussein or the
House of Saud would not have any economic leverage over us. If
they are trying to deal with an oil glut and declining prices, they
will not alienate their biggest customer by switching currencies,
and it wouldn't matter much to us if they did.

But instead we must illegally invade sovereign nations, kill the inhabitants, and plant governments there that are bent to execute our will. Vegas odds say Iran is next… there’s even a pool for the excuses or, more terrifying, the ‘event’ that will spur our forces farther East.

We decided no such thing. Boosh** lied. He said that Saddam Hussein was going to :nuke: us, remember? He got Colon Powell to say it too.
I didn't believe them, but I cannot accuse those who did of the above.



Yes, I read the whole thing, and I read your last version too.
(Actually, I was kind of amused at how few of the things on your
strange and arbitrary list I was actually "guilty" of. I do own
an SUV. I need the off-pavement capability. It's a hybrid, and
burns much less gas than any other SUV available.)
