I'm beginning to loathe this word. I can't take it anymore, everyone is for change. Are voters so stupid they don't believe all candidates stand for changing Washington? Hasn't this been the reason for elections every since their creation?

I agree, why the hell do we still use pennys?! I'm sick of all that loose change. If I was running for President, my platform would be centered around the elimination of the penny. Bump Jackson off the $20 and move Lincoln in there.

And if we eliminated the penny, we'd all save 4 cents on many purchases.

Think of the collective MPG the country would save by not having to transport pennys - either as loose change in cars, or from banks to businesses and vice versa. It'd be like a couple of gallons, at least.

Plus, I think I read somewhere that it actually now costs more than a penny to make the damn things.

I'd guess that we'd be most likely to lose a cent on most purchases (the dreaded $19.99 etc that everyone charges).

Change is good, it makes me sound like I have spurs on when I walk.

I figure they'd charge $19.95 instead so it would be less than $20.

i read that it actually burns more calories to eat pennies than the calories you gain from ingesting them.

++ especially with my cowboy boots I wear everywhere. I feel like a badass.
