Should Colonel Sanders be on the $20 bill?

[JVS]

How can we fail to pay tribute to such a great man?

[jdonaldball]

1. No. He should be on a Special $6.99 bill

2. Actually, if we really wanted to...

... pay homage to American values, we'd put P.T. Barnum on the $20 bill. :P

4. Is this the lounge or what?

5. Maybe have a rotating figure selection. Co. Sanders --

-- for a couple of years, then the Quaker Oats guy, then Aunt Jemima, then Juan Valdez, then Mr. Clean, and so forth.

But if you want to start with Col. Sanders, by damn we will.

6. No. If you want someone who looks like Bar Bush, use the Quaker Oats Guy.

7. Colonel Sanders had ethics.

That alone would disqualify him!

8. I once had to convince a friend that Colonel Sanders didn't own slaves

My friend had heard that he did and put the burden of proof on me to demonstrate otherwise

9. Having been born in 1890

it would have been tough to be a slave owner.

(he might have paid slave wages though)

On edit- oops wrong copy and paste (did anyone see it?)

10. Yeah that's basically the argument I used

Saying that since the colonel died when we were kids in the 80's, that to own slaves he'd have needed to be over 120 years old, and even then that would be owning slaves an an infant (which would have been strange)
