Actually, having a weak dollar isn't so bad. It means other nations have more incentive to buy our stuff, and we have more incentive to buy locally produced stuff. There are downsides to be sure, but it's not 100% bad.
Right you are. At last count, there were about 75 local U.S. economies that had grown to the point that they were using alternative forms of currency, or barter systems, or similar arrangements.
Now, since the dollar's waning, we just need crude to trade lower, or we're going to have another awfully expensive summer.

Interesting. Do you have a link for that? I'd love to look it up.
I'm a ccw holder and live in a state where open carry is available. However, if there's going to be a dialogue about ownership/gun safety/etc., I think I'd personally rather have the forum besides a church. In Georgia, you can't carry at church or church-related functions, among other events/locales

We seem to be falling on more or less the same lines here.
I am, on principle, not opposed to anyone's right to religion-in fact, I'm quite, rabidly, fond of my right from religion.
However, as Thoreau told us, "I was not born to be forced." To take his meaning slightly out of context, arming ourselves in our ideological gathering houses is all well and good until we start riling ourselves up about how to enforce our ideas of what's right and what's wrong onto another individual

"Some 28 states have proposed cutting spending on higher education and personnel, while 27 want to reduce funding for K-12 education."
Yep, at the community college, our enrollments are up 10%, but because of the state budget problem and decreasing county tax rolls, we have been given a flat budget this year. More students in need of classes and services, same amount of money. Fan-frakkin'-tastic!
