I don't believe Franklin qualified to be President.

 

why not?

 

Teddy Roosevelt is on our money.

 

As well as this one:

 

Being dead would definitely disqualify a person.

Franklin died in 1790. Washington became the first president in 1789. Franklin was way too old to hold the office.

 

Never mind. I could have swore I heard that in school, but apparently the only thing that stopped him was old age and illness.

 

I digress. A very very very small percentage of people think that is okay. Some how this very very very small percentage ( minority, which is not about race but rather a smaller percentage compared to the whole) has been given this "right" by some authority. Who was that authority ? Shoot me an answer if ya want but I truly am out.

 

No, as Pauli famously said, it's based on such flawed assumptions that it's "not even wrong". But you are right about the line, I suppose.

 

Do you serve syrup with your waffles ? Or is that gourmet word salad ?

Why not just replace the face on the penny?

 

How much more do we want to change history by putting someone on our coins and currency that had a very small part in the history of the United States. We are already destroying statues and paintings and who know what else is being changed. Russia started that in 1917 and Hitler in 1933 and the United States in 2021.

 

Pardon me whilst I pull this statement apart. James Thorpe wasn't even officially recognized as a US citizen until 1926(Native Americans were not recognized as citizens until then. The only Native Americans recognized as citizens before that were the so called Five "Civilized" Tribes that were in what is now Oklahoma

Sacagawea likely had no idea by guiding Louis and Clarke to the Pacific Northwest that she initiated the beginning of the end for the Plains people. Also there are no known extent images of her, the image on the dollar coin is based on a Native American model - Randy'L Teton.

Louis Braille is not even American, he was French. Sure he was on a commemorative dollar, but a foreign citizen doesn't belong on a circulating American banknote.

Jackie Robinson and Crispus Attucks have appeared on commemorative coins.

 

Homeschooling my daughter has taught me that the colonialists that fought against British rule tore down George III's statue.

 

I know...sarcasm really needs its own emoji

 

You're 74 and homeschooling your daughter!!! Graduate school or post graduate?

 

I'm 73 and most of my grandchildren are in college or very close to it. With the history that we are making, they should be home schooling me. I can't keep up with all of the changes.

 

Wow, I think it has been over 2 years?
Hope you are doing well, and staying healthy.

 

commemorative coin is what i say to......
