We've never really been free of the Crown or the Europeans. Interesting that we let foreigners dictate what our paper money is worth and most have no clue about it.

I was different when I was 18.
I slept in class, mainly because I had a hangover. And the teachers knew better than to wake me up, kinda a "let the sleeping dog lie" thing.
Had they taught me something I found interesting, I would have paid attention...hangover or not. And whenever I went to college, and worked evenings and paid my own way out of my own hip pocket, I was even less impressed.
But I always was a hard head, any very few could reach me. I guess if a teacher made things interesting enough to gather my attention, the school board would have ridden them out of town on a rail.
