To be honest, I'd like to simply get rid of paper currency and just go digital. But that's for another discussion.

As for this, I agree that some of the women they suggest have contributed more to the US (and humanity) than President Jackson did. And I really can't think of a good argument why we shouldn't have a women on a prominent bill. Either way, it's not the biggest deal in the world.

Rachel Carson? Margaret Sanger? :dunce: At least choose Marie Curie and not a eugenicist and envirowhacko who played a role in the DDT ban.

And whe we're talking about presidential misdoings, can we take Licoln off the 5 for his extreme ineptness that caused 600,000 deaths?

What's wrong with Rachel Carson? What's right with DDT?

I'm not saying she's currency material.

Then again, I can't honestly come up with one woman who is.

You throw bills, as defined as an electric bill or a cable bill...or bills, as defined currency? :suspicious:

The National Academy of Sciences has estimated that DDT saved half a billion lives…and since it has been banned malaria has made a big comeback.

But hey, Carson and Sanger may have delayed the Malthusian collapse 50 years, amiright?

National Academy of Science? :suspicious:
Consumer advocate Ralph Nader once said of ACSH, "A consumer group is an organization which advocates the interests of unrepresented consumers and must either maintain its own intellectual independence or be directly accountable to its membership. In contrast, ACSH is a consumer front organization for its business backers. It has seized the language and style of the existing consumer organizations, but its real purpose, you might say, is to glove the hand that feeds it."[2]

Do you dispute the NAS citation says what that ASCH paper says it does? I don't have a free link to a NAS publication from 1970.

Even when that paper is chock full of references from scientific and medical papers discrediting the reasons for the DDT ban you still want to use the strawman of "industry front-group"?

And? No one will dispute that malaria drastically decreased when DDT came into use and it drastically increased again when its use stopped. NAS may not have been a proponent of DDT back in the 1970s, but that was before a lot of the evidence came out that it wasn't as bad as the environmentalists of the time claimed it was.

Hey, you could be entirely right. I'm just looking for some unbiased context to the 1970 NAS findings.

Sorry for not believing everything on the internet.

Africa can still use DDT if they want to
Why is that our fault..?

I wasn't aware that America stopped the whole world from using DDT

I'am surprised that no assassination plot was attempted on him everyone else that tried make the USA independent from the European economic community was either killed or nearly killed starting with Lincoln and there were rumors that Reagan nearly taken out because of that.Lincoln there was a rumor that he wanted to make the USA independent from Europe in terms of economics.
