It has a feeling of conquest about it, and that isn't healthy.<br /><br />It would be better to create a new paper currency, I think. Why not a $75 bill, or a $200 bill? Either would be useful.<br /><br />As to whose likeness should be on the bill - that's the tricky part. The men on bills are presidents or generals; who is the female equivalent?

You do know what Bubba told Jennifer Flowers about Hillary when Flowers told him Hillary was gay? It's not proper for this forum. What I can say is Bubba laughed gave her a "Well, duh." Then a crude comment about lesbian practices followed. ndspinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446291993043775612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14168956.post-31095163633515993512015-03-08T21:45:51.946-04:002015-03-08T21:45:51.946-04:00ndspinelli, you are suggesting that Hillary is gay...ndspinelli, you are suggesting that Hillary is gay.
