Calderon is from the same party as Vicente Fox. If Fox supported it, Calderon probably will too.

However, since I have yet to see a credible current source, I think this whole thread is moot.

Maybe. Then again, maybe not.


P.S. Exactly what are you looking for?

A credible (as in The Onion doesn't count) news media source describing how having a combined currency would remove our civil liberties and void our constitution.

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.

a recent, albeit "anti" site on this topic: http://www.amerocurrency.com/index.html

That's an article about a committee that is discussing how to make Mexico more competitive, you know, bolstering their economy. This would be a good thing. There's nothing in there about your other assort ramblings.

I love that the other site, a group aimed at making our borders stronger by increasing the security of both countries to either side of us, and increasing the prosperity of that poor country to the south of us, you know the one where people will risk death to leave and come here and make money? Yeah, that's really bad guys in disguise. None of this supports what you've said at all. You are Looney Tunes.

Please keep your commentary focused on the issue(s) and not on your personal feelings towards me. If you want to disagree with me, fine. But don't insult me in the process, ok? Thanks.

It is not likely that you'll find one, at least not in the format (read: wording) you'll be looking for. Like I said, this is being kept under wraps for reasons I already mentioned (fear of backlash, revolts, mass panic, etc.).

Please actually reply to my relevant comments if you actually want to prove your case.

BTW, if it's being kept under wraps. How do YOU know about it, and why aren't "they" shutting you up? Oh, that's right, because it's a figment of your imagination. Your official sites say nothing.

Lack of proof (or your idea of such thereof) is neither an excuse nor a license for personal attacks or insults.

Further, given your approach to this topic, I don't think you are looking for proof, and even if it was provided, you would neither accept it nor believe it. You approached this topic with a very cynical attitude, so any attempts for me to appease you would only be an exercise in futility.

That's your opinion, and one which you are entitled to.

You and I will have to declare a stalemate on this topic. We simply don't agree and I can deal with that.

But here's a mitigating point that might put your opinions at ease: for the sake of the future's fate of America, I hope my assertions are wrong. OTOH, I only pray that we are prepared for such a radical undertaking if my assertions do prove correct.

Carry on...
