POLL:Al Gore invents I-Net and MegalosSkylos invents the $NAFTO on it:Time to VOTE

[MegalosSkylos]

Choice #ONE:Yes, I want a common currency like the $EURO: the $NAFTO. Why bother to convert (" I don't want toconvert") when one currency will do nicely, thank you.!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Choice # TWO: National identity is important ("We don't need no steek'n $NAFTO":p .Recommend $Molson; $McBurger; $Mescal to avoid unnecessary confusion among currencies.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Choice # THREE: Nah, just keep things the same old B-O-R-I-N-G way. Why improve things just because Al Gore invented the internet which allowed the invention of the $NAFTO?

I never really caught this one, but what's up with people saying Al Gore invented the internet. Its got to be really funny but I'm just missing something here.

[JohnE.]

Al Gore invented the I-Net?


Hey, if it'll get me American prices on computer gear here in Canada I'm all for it.

Up the NAFTO!

[MegalosSkylos]

Err..Al Gore kinda made what many thought was the preposterous assertion he had "invented" the concept of internet in a speech on"the Information highway".

The three countries, are of course, members of a "common market" called NAFTA.

Ah,

keep same old, money costs enough as it is. Administration would just have another place to skim. (what would it be called - the world 'FED'?)

[MegalosSkylos]

-------------------------------NEWS FLASH----------------------------------

Gov't (errr...could be gov't, maybe CNN) announces that NAFTO could be deposited inyour account and then you print thr actual bills off the internet (Ah,..that Al Gore!) with home printer which are debited [See Barbie Doll printer in "Steals -N-Wheels Forum].

NOW, you can KNOW where your money was was!!
Imagine the thrill of printing your own money, picking the colors--maybe putting your pet cat's picture on it!

SW for conversion--according to Wall Street Journal... Errr, could be National Enquirer --owned by obscure , reclusive Dollarnaire named ....naimed ..[communication breakin up]

dEAR cADDMANQ, yOUR ELOQUENCE ONCE AGAIN oops sorry cap lock was on , once again shows why you are called "Ultimate"1

I feel like the guy in NETWORK (famous actor, blocking) who has talk with Ned Beety and leaves a new Man>
Actually, not big friend of NAFTA. Common markets work best with nations at similar Tech levels (E.G. USA & Canada) but are exploitive to nations (Mexico) which are less developed. "Advanced" nations want to export the cost of pollution while wasting the natural resources (like energy) of less developed nations.

The robber Barons are very much still around. Under capitalism--Adam Smith knew this--profits approximate zero do to ease of entry and competition. That's why monopolistic devices invented --to eliminate competition. This is the Real "internal contradiction" of Capitalism. The so-called capitalist Corps don't want it! So the Trusts were born.

When Barry Goldwater ran for President here in 1960, the Big Corps supported Johnson. Had grown fat and comfortable with Gov't subsidies and restraints on trade THEY imposed.

True free-enterprise market economy is the way to go with competition for all. Still, there is a book (by two French economists?) that argues that globalization will provide the economic progress that wiil make social and material progress possible for more people. Complex subject.

Errr... I would say that at this point the poll is too close to call. Obviously more than a third of the sample are dissatisfied with existing currency (perhaps not having enough of it) and would like freedom to print own currency afforded by the NAFTO.
Indeed, several would rather enjoy a McBurger than a Dollar and drink ....err spend a Mescal than a Peso!

Clearly, this burning issue which is right up there with striped bass or the naming of th XP1800 is still smoldering in the hearts and minds and pockets and server of SysOpters.

Let's keep that overwhelming outpouring of voters still pouring in!!

Meanwhile I'll beging the s-l-o-w, tedious process of statistical analysis whereby any conclusion can be drawn and usually is!

Dear Caddmannq:

i've bookmarked it already.
Just when I was getting comfortable acting out (joined Sept).
I guess I can't take myself anywhere!
