>>>cleaning up after the storm and what part of New Orleans we're living in.<<< Remember the total outrage over the government basically losing a gigabuck in the post Katrina clean-up??? Ha. Haha. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaha. My wife came in my office about an hour ago. She had one of those gold colored one dollar coins. Someone had sent her an email suggesting that whenever she gets one of those she return it and ask for a different form of cash because it didn't say "In God we trust" on it. Well if you look at the edge, it does say "In God we trust"...in microscript. You can tell that the coin itself is of poor quality, soft, and that inscription would be worn off within six months of circulation. So its there, but it isn't there. Intentionally hidden and diminished. My wife and I are religious in our way, and I certainly don't want to get into that here. I just recall that in the mid '60s, money was money. The currency was revered. It was stressed in grade school how we all trusted each other through the medium of money. It was really important that the integrity of money be honored. "In God we trust" was on the currency to hint at just what would happen if we all didn't kind of keep our noses clean when it came to what we used to represent wealth. I am scared.
