I think all GOV business should be done in English and dollars...But a private business can do as they please. QuoteBut a private business can do as they please.

DaVinci 0 #33 January 14, 2007 QuoteWOW, I guess they can do what they want Sorry, I assumed you would understand that "they can do as they please" was in reference to taking whatever they want in payment provided it was legal. None of your list of arguments involves currency as an issue. So care to try again? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
