Chaim! I think that pugluvr meant that **she** was the troll! (If she is a she. She might be a he.) In other words, she was “trolling” for a response by calling you, of all people, a moloster.

Arnold:

Of course there’s nothing inherently wrong with choosing a woman for a coin. However, for some reason, there seems to be some push that the dollar coin must have a woman on it…doesn’t matter which woman, just anyone who didn’t have a Y chromosome. I mean, if Susan B. Anthony is deserving of a coin, then keep her. If she wasn’t, replace her with someone more significant…not _necessarily_ a woman.

I’ll admit that there are some pretty obscure characters who have appeared on American money, with the aforementioned Chase at the head of the line. However, the fact that some undeserving folks were immortalized does not negate the fact that putting a woman on the dollar coin is an exercise in group-identity politics such as usually practiced by the left. But certainly the right is not immune to such a thing…witness Clarence Thomas’s replacing Thurgood Marshall on the Supreme Court.

Green bean:

You know, I should have thought of that. Thanks. 😉
