Subject: Re: Our Own Money System


This is a little off topic, but in our day of being politically correct i 
cant help but notice how un-pc the US currency is. For example, Washington 
and Jefferson were slave owners, yet they are honored by being on our 
currency. Andrew Jackson to some people is ever bit as bad as Hitler or 
Stalin. Even Lincoln in one of his famous speeches made the point that he 
thought whites were the superior race. So why are these bigots and racists on 
our money? Maybe our money is just another representation of what this nation 
was really founded on: greed, lies, and genocide.

I like that idea. I would suggest some of the great Indian leaders of 
American history, but they would have probably been against such a notion.
