I can see your point, but it is a point that has been made a million times and does not offer solutions. And, frankly, I had no interest in where Clinton placed his member. That was between him, his spouse and anyone who received it. I only cared about what he did when he was doing his job.

Four. I have had the thought for a while that much of our information and recent history is stored on fragile mediums, such as silicone chips and paper. Perhaps we could take the most important parts of our information database and engraving it on long lasting material, such as metal plates or stone, then store these in mountains, caves, or other places where they won't be destroyed. I know it seems old-fashion but in the event of widespread catastrophe, how do we plan to preserve our knowledge for hundreds of years? Thousands? We must not let our scientific achievments, or the facts of our modern history be forgotten, or worse yet, rewritten in a false light.

Originally posted by RooiValkI know this doesn`t really add to the problem solving, but I think this should also be considered when talking about getting people together and discussing the future. The implications with this could also be quite substantial.
Canada
One argument is that it would save up to 3 billion dollars in currency transactions. The same authors also stated that Canada's GDP could rise by up to 33% in a twenty year period given the adoption of a single currency.
The idea of a common currency receives considerably more support in Quebec than in the rest of Canada, with over half of the population being in favour of it.
United States
One argument for the United States to press for the adoptation of a North American currency is the fact that it would essentially make Canada and possibly Mexico a monetary dependency of the United States which could thus be exploited for political and economical gains.
Secondly, given the Euro's new prominence, a dollarization policy adopted by either Canada or Mexico, or even a change to the proposed Amero, could help reassert the dollar's dominance world-wide. However, it is unlikely that this would be sufficient to counter the "threat" of another global currency if only two nations (the United States and Canada) were to adopt it.
Mexico
The possibility of a monetary merger has also been discussed in Mexico as a natural step to take after the NAFTA.[4]

huh? I'll assume you are referring to Bill Clinton, please correct me if my assumption is wrong.
Clinton completed his entire presidential term, allowable under the United States Constitution.
His Impeachment came at the end of his Presidential tenure; therefore, he did complete the maximum term allowed.
So, for you to say, "it makes me laugh you guys get rid of...", is actually laughable in its own.
Perhaps you should read up a little more on American History before using part of it in your ATS political stand up.
Oh yeah, by the way....
Clinton was impeached for LYING under OATH, not for any 'favors under the table', as you speculate.
BTW, perhaps you should double check your grammatical errors prior to using the word 'intelligent' in your posts.

yes he was impeached for lying under oath but i still believe this was the begining of the end for clinton being taken seriously by the world, his fellow political members and the people at large.

Why would the government conspire with terrorists about crashing planes into the Twin Towers then put all the blame on the terrorists and deny any part thus making the terrorists mad and starting this whole war on terror crap? Why would our government do that to their own people?
