Message:: [QUOTE="CoinOKC, post: 42321, member: 2146"]I don't think our current generation will know what coins they'll talk about in 100 years and to surmise that we can foresee the future is presumptuous. In your opinion. Who says I voted for SBA?  Again, you surmise.  But, living in a free society, I'm not required to tell you who I voted for.   <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Not at all.  I do think that Susan B. Anthony resembles a strong-willed woman who had the courage to stand up to the injustices of our society and try to make certain that "equality" wasn't just for those in power.  Beauty is more than skin-deep.  I think that Ms. Anthony was trying to justify the "liberty" espoused by the allegorical depictions on the coins you seem to like so well.  In that sense, the SBA Dollar is more "beautiful" than any of the depictions of liberty you've referenced. Good.  Why don't we model it after the Chinese citizen who had the courage to stand in front of the tank in Tianenmen Square even at the peril of his own life?  He was screaming for liberty. I hesitate to even respond to this.  So, I won't. Substitute the words "real people" with "depictions of Liberty" and you have an opposing point of view.  Your point is noted and I've filed it exactly where it needs to be.[/QUOTE]
