    Is it worth the cost of printing this money, which will have to be paid for in Yankee dollar?

    They want to change the currency to the Falkland Pound and call themselves North Falkland!

    Personally saddened for my Argentine neighbors economic collapse, but it's certainly
    self inflicted.

    I'd also comment that mestizo gypsy daughter
    has given birth to our 5th grandchild this weekend.
