    Yet previously you as much as admitted that it was rigidity of thought.

    Do you still have the Queen on your Currency? I remember long ago I was at a Bus Stop in some rural town along Hwy. 1 in Alberta (or somewhere) and this little girl was there waiting for a School Bus. I asked her "Why do you have the Queen of England on your Money, is she the Queen of Canada?" And ... she looked at me, began to cry, and said "She's our Queen and we love her". Then ran off. I'm thinking "Holy Shit, the towns folk are going to be coming this way with pitchforks and shit. I hope this Bus comes by here pretty quick!".
    I never saw anybody and the Bus finally showed up, but it was kinda' weird how she just suddenly started crying like that.

    Any thoughts on the 'Amero'? American and Canadian coinage looks identical already. And the 'value' is close.

    "Implementation would involve the three countries giving up their current currency units (the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar, and the Mexican peso) and adopting a new one, created specifically for this purpose (some versions of the theory assume only the United States and Canada would be included). The hypothetical currency for the union is most often referred to as the amero.[1][2] The concept is modeled on the common European Union currency (the euro)."

    I suspect that the Trojan horse known as freedom of religion was written into charters and constitutions etc. specifically for the planned infiltration of islam aside from the fact that thousands of years (long before islam even got here) religious lies prove to lead to war and divide..

    Freedom of religion has got to go.

    Religion is rigid thinking. That is not compatible with democracy.

    You are a demonstration of rigid thinking.
