If they had to shoot each other, at least it was over something important
70 year-old man shoots friend during argument over the height of James Brown's career - who, by the way, still hasn't been buried.On an unrelated note, a situation in Dallas has me interested. Pizza Patron, a Dallas-based pizza chain has decided to accept pesos at their locations, and people are mad about it. While I'm interested to see where the fight leads, I think the people complaining are focusing on a non-issue. Their point is that this is America, so they should use dollars (which the stores still accept, obviously), and they think Pizza Patron is catering to illegal immigrants. My view is that since 60% of their customers are Hispanic, it makes business sense to do it, regardless.
Also, plenty of other places in cities in other countries where there is a high concentration of Americans accept American dollars, just because people are prevalent there that have them. We always went to Progresso, Mexico to shop on our mission trips, and while we normally had pesos to spend most of the shops took dollars as well since it is a big tourist town due to its proximity to the border. I don't think the pizza place's decision is really a big deal. Thoughts?

Agreed. If I were the busines owner and had a customer-base that wanted to use another form of currency... so be it.
If this were about a pizza parlor in Detroit taking Canadian dollars do you think we'd be having this argument? I don't think so. Not to mention that Canada is only a short drive across a bridge from Detroit. I'd definitely be taking Canadian currency!
