The embossing is permanent, but the colour rubs off pretty easy, rendering the colour experiment at the Mint an overall faliure. And your gov't thinks we possess the technology to BUG our money? Maybe it's the thought that counts.katrockethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14093885900740274727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1228209859252142987.post-39835651538604036572007-05-07T21:13:00.000-04:002007-05-07T21:13:00.000-04:00OMG this depresses me to the hilt to think that th...OMG this depresses me to the hilt to think that these people are in charge of our security.

This is about what happens to a "free nation" when it's government doesn't make any efforts to understand the cultures (and in this case, everyday objects) of other countries, and instead purposely generates a constant state of fear, panic and paranoia in order to keep up support for unpopular security measures and foreign policies. It happens sometimes - Germany, Russia, North Korea, Cuba, China. I guess I'm wondering if we're becoming more like our enemies in our efforts to claim victory over them.<br><br>Perhaps Jim Carrey is the ultimate secret weapon?
