<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vercingetorix, post: 236453, member: 3374&quot;]seems like you&#039;re getting caught up in semantics to me -- a distinction without any difference.&nbsp; there&#039;s clearly something &quot;different&quot; about DC than, say, american samoa.&nbsp; it&#039;s tough to say just what that &quot;different&quot; is, but most americans wouldn&#039;t notice the difference if they drove across the maryland (or virginia) border into DC, but they&#039;d certainly notice if they were plopped down in san juan, or the USVI, or guam.&nbsp; i&#039;d suggest that what&#039;s different is that DC is basically no different than the rest of the lower 48, while the territories really are unlike the rest of the country.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>and btw, if you really want to be a stickler about it, pennsylvania, kentucky, mass., virgina -- none of these Commonwealths should have gotten a quarter.&nbsp; not states.&nbsp; but your sarcasm was cute.</p><p><br /></p><p>nevertheless, i&#039;m pretty much on board with everyone that wants to see the program end.&nbsp; boring idea, and the coins are examples of why art by committee usually isn&#039;t a good idea.</p><p><br /></p><p>V.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
