"...slightly off topic..." ... actually, in a way, it's not, and neither is the mention of nationalistic differences, to a point. This article points up one thing about you americanos, that you actually catch and prosecute the odd sleazeball from time to time.

This is rare in Canada, and unheard of in M‚xico, where we appoint them to high office.

There is good reason for the US dollar to be the current dominant fiat currency of the planet, and imho it goes beyond military power and size of economy. The availability of accurate economic data and the enforcement of securities regulations, the clarity, is second to none. A long ways from perfect, but closer than any other system.
