Yes, it was a lofty generalization, but for few people to mention it--and word does get around, especially on the Internet at least hints my assertion has some degree of validity. I am hard pressed to believe that for an event as potentially phenominal as this in an age where information is literally at your fingertips, that more people aren't talking about it. They certainly talked about Paris Hilton getting a slap on the wrist en masse (ps: BUCK A PARIS HILTON!!)   But I digress... |
since we're talking grins & giggles, no, until you mentioned it, i hadn't heard of this. and i cant say that anyone i know has heard of it either. i definitely did NOT, and do not, expect to hear about it via the media. "fair and balanced" the media is not. and, compared to how many articles there are on ms. hilton et al, and eddie & his issues, there's not much on the internet, either. i do, however, think i have found WHY the public hasn't heard much about this:

If President Bush had run openly in 2004 on the proposition that a prime objective of his second term was to form the North American Union and to supplant the dollar with the “Amero,” we doubt very much that President Bush would have carried Ohio, let alone half of the Red State majority he needed to win re-election. Pursuing any plan that would legalize the conservatively estimated 12 million illegal aliens now in the United States could well spell election disaster for the Republican Party in 2006, especially for the House of Representative where every seat is up for grabs.

But then, that comes from a conservative view.

One thing I am almost certain of is that our basic Constitutional rights will be done away with, as it is slowly being undermined as we speak.

I'll agree to this. Way to back pedal.
Your "we will" statements seemed to indicate that you were sure we were doomed. maybe i misread.
