When I read it first, I also thought it was a joke and funny but then realized he seemed serious; regardless I sent it to some friends as a joke. What kind of jokers is Harvard/Princeton collecting?

It's beneath you to debate those devoid of critical thinking skills.

But you better do it anyway, lest idiots further up the destruction chain think it's a way to get the stealth tax back.

One thing it would do, though... suddenly those Presidential Dollars would be very popular. I sent the US Mint $250 a few weeks ago, and they sent me 250 "Native American Dollars." Cool... good for the bus, parking meters (around here) and they didn't charge any postage at all. You could also get any of four Presidential Dollars for this year in the same manner. Get 'em while they are cold.
