Boy, are you reading the wrong comic.

I think the US should use the Dollar coin we have and not print another one dollar bill. Not a single one. Use the coins instead.
Carl-E:
The US is too full of people who hate change too much to pull off a currency change other than incrementally. Or changes that are completely hidden, like coppertoning those zinc pennies they use now, since copper's so expensive. We've had dollar coins since before we were a country, but once people finally got used to paper money, with the dollar as the smallest denomination, efforts to eliminate it and replace it with a coin have consistantly failed. For a new country, we desperately cling to our "traditions"!
Change like this has to be done top-down, and our psuedo-republic/democracy (it's really neither) can't get away with it (hell, it can't even reform health insurance decently...). As a limited-sight person, I know it would be better to have distinguishable bills rather than having to sort them under a bright light. I know some people who go to great lengths to keep it all sorted out, and most have to depend on the honesty of the clerk.
But change like that ain't gonna happen anytime soon!
Oh, and the "now I'm re-dying it!" comment... so she's got the dye on while she puts up the laundry? Sounds hazardous, unless all the clothes are black, or you don't mind purple spots...

Okay, so I should've posted "Dora's very short hair—BLEAH—hate it!"
And don't call me 'Boy.'
Call me 'Ishmael.' :-D
Border Reiver:
Time to wrap this poll up while I try to think of something for the missus and I to do on our anniversary today
How to tell this is a comic not reality
The laundry room isn't locked after a certain hour 6 (13%)
There are those robots... 3 (6.5%)
Attractive women are wandering around in their PJs outside of their apartments 16 (34.8%)
Perhaps because it's drawn and scripted? 11 (23.9%)
Couldn't think of anything terribly witty could you BR? 10 (21.7%)
Total Voters: 46
Personally, I was going for the last option, but apparently not every one's as harsh a critic of me as me.
Or you're more polite.
