    Consider the problems an 18-cent piece would create for the typical public high school graduate who has to punch the picture of a hamburger and the picture of french fries in order to take your order at McDonalds, and then needs help deciding how much change to give when the bill is $4.37 and you give him/her $5.37. In New Jerseyese, fahgeddaboutit!

    Hey, are you reading my mind??
    That humanity at large will ever be able to dispense with artificial paradises seems unlikely. Most men and women lead lives at the worst so painful, and at the best so monotonous, poor, and limited, that the urge to escape, the longing to transcend themselves, if only for a few moments, is and always has been one of the principal appetites of the soul.
