Inflation

Governments everywhere print money to make payments [of course it can't pay for EVERYTHING, hence debt/deficit spending]. The value of that currency becomes less. Inflation in simple terms.
My "simplistic" view...
Inflation is caused by the US printing more to pay for things domestic like debts and to restabilize bad banks, automobile industry, and some corporations.
The devaluation of the dollar in the international market is due to speculation and again printing $US to pay debts and flood other countries. The article IS correct in that there is no other viable currency to trade in, not even the newer Euro, or anything else that will be invented anytime soon [virtual currency?].
When I was living in the Philippines, common people were happy when the dollar rose in value. Even when I explained to them that the value of the Peso and the Philippine economy is falling! This was 30 years ago, and is still true today. The common person, as well as countries, hoard $US!

The motto of $US is "In God we Trust" but good luck iin getting what you are owed FROM God. Jesus said "Give unto Ceasar what is Ceasar's'" so you are up the creek there!

"Even though you don't play Farmville, do you have any wooden boards to help me build my stable?“

Send “John, Paul, and RePete are in a boat. The boat tips. John and Paul fall into the water. Who is left in the boat?” over and over again.

Post something significant on their Wall-to-Wall. Delete/Remove it 3 days later;

For every significant word in their post, search Wikipedia and copy the whole article. Paste them on a notepad. Copy and paste the whole notepad in a comment to that post. There seems to be no limit to the number of characters here. OR Type “Huh?!?” in every one of their Wall posts back to when they started FB.

Comment on their photos “How much for just the women?”

How do you keep an idiot in suspense? Create a story and don’t end it…

[] How would I delete my FB account?
I would never Delete, or Deactivate! I would just be Inactive, like I am on Friendster, MySpace, and a few others. I would do that only if Farmville invaders cannot be blocked, or I have to pay a fee [which you do now to get upgrades or see what people say about you, or other gifts]. Just like the ending of Hotel California "You can check out anytime like, but You can NEVER leave!"

BP Gulf Spill revisited

The numbers...
11 - dead or missing in the initial explosion.
40 - miles (64 km) southeast of the Louisiana coast.
5,000 - depth of gusher in feet (1,500 m) below the ocean surface.
210,000 - of crude oil per day (5,000 barrels 790,000 litres) to as much as 100,000 barrels (4,200,000 US gallons; 16,000,000 litres).
2,500 - area covered in square miles (6,500 sq km)

When [not if] it hits the Gulf Stream, and later the North Atlantic Drift, The US east coast will be affected. It MAY actually reach northwestern Europe! BP, changing the face of the World one ocean at a time!

Take a reference from a movie[s]. Sink a 10 kiloton non-nuke device to collapse the gusher at the source, and then clean up.
