Was America ever great ?

Go to your local car dealership. Offer to pay for a new car with gold coins. See how fast you drive out of the dealership in your new ride. That should answer any questions about whether gold is a commodity or a currency.

On a personal level, America was mighty fine to a naive schoolboy like myself in Toronto. Walking around oblivious to the freedom this continent afforded me. My 4th grade 'book report' required a review of a non-fiction book featuring any prominent public figure. I chose one called 'The PT-109', and JFK's heroics. At that young age I was almost in disbelief that an American president could be assassinated, and he was a hero of mine. The thing is, EVERYBODY seemed to love Kennedy. Strange mystique...and a murder MOST foul. I was ill-equipped to write about that.

Quite possibly the finest sax solo on the internet, @3:20 The Chick Corea Elektrik Band in full swing. One of the finest performances on youtube. PERIOD. Buckle up.
