And underground Mormon and Baptist militias would always be blowing up the printing presses(and computer servers)! lol Not to mention all the women on the planet who would be complaining about it, and how their guys were not paying proper attention to them!

Do you really want pornstars on all the currency? lol

Uh......., Spike, if you REALLY think about it, the world truly is driven by sex already!! Why do you think people go to college? lol Time to retake evolutionary psyche 101!

I've met a great gal, and I'm already planning on really bettering myself financially so I can...... : )
