  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The wages of inflation finally killed it. It now costs four cents to make each penny. When I was a kid in the sixties you could still get penny candy. A penny in 1965 had the purchasing power of a dime now, which even in 65 was nothing to write home about. Some people used to give rolls of pennies out at Halloween to trick or treaters, not my favorite type of treat. Any type of coin being minted now may eventually follow the path of the penny to oblivion unless it is made out of a precious metal. Scrooge McDuck is appalled.

There are literally trillions of penny’s in circulation. They won’t be scarce for at least a few decades, unless I’m wrong.

I don't remember the last time I even used pennies. I think a new "penny derangement syndrome" is starting, though. Watch there be another one of those protests coming to your state capitol buildings.
