I think we can all agree that when it comes to conspiracy theorists, arrogance is not in short supply. That is, today someone showed me the Zeitgeist, the Movie group on Facebook where people talk about how much they believe the movie, and how anyone who disagrees with them is a part of the conspiracy... or just stupid.
The first wall post I saw made me laugh, mostly because it was about me! Here it is:
What makes me laugh is, if the American dollar is not the world's most solid currency, then what is? Why can I go to nearly any country in the world and the US dollar is treated as "hard currency", while local money has far less value? I don't see people using the Peso or the Ruble when going to other countries.
And, I didn't go to a community college, though the Canadians love to talk about how uneducated Americans are. I went to a place called a "University", which is not unlike a community college, in that it's a place where you learn and help build your future. Maybe he can figure out what that is after he gets back to me on what other currencies can be used anywhere in the world.
