I don't have the citations in my library but I believe the interpretation is that "legal tender" means it is allowable NOT that it is mandatory. Since it is their territory, you could probably consult a Federal Reserve branch for a more detailed answer. --FLO--
Condensing fact from the vapor of nuance.
Re: I Wonder
"United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes and dues. Foreign gold or silver coins are not legal tender for debts.
31 U.S.C. § 5103 "
It does not forbid accepting other "tender".
It does require coin of the realm be physically accepted too.
Not electronically or converting to tokens or some privatized currency.

You are right MOI, stand up for your rights to use money, don't let them bully you around but I will bet that after all that they still wont take it. Because the bottom line is that they have decided how it is to be paid, and with what, which is their right and Moi, I am willing to bet that they don't give a rats butt about yours and if you wish to use there system you will do it their way. You can stand on your soap box and bitch all you want but they wont be listing or care.

Is this massive Solar Flare headed to Earth and due to arrive 7/14/12;
the product of some abuse of mankind?
They have been happening more frequently according to Chicken Little Alerts.
Maybe we are demanding too much Solar Power, burning the sun too hot?
I refuse to feel so insignificant not to take some responsibility for an epidemic of Solar storms.
We only have one Sol. Treat it well.
We must reduce our reliance on Solar Power!

"A solar storm was due to arrive Saturday morning and last through Sunday, slamming into Earth's magnetic field. Scientists said . . . "
The magnetic fields on the sun twisted and threw out the solar flare.
I know of no man who has that power or claims it.
They also call it the Winged Isle. Some say it is because the island, if seen from above, would look like butterfly wings. And I do not know the truth of it. Then, And what is truth? said jesting Pilate. From: The Truth Is A Cave In The Black Mountains by Neil Gaiman.
Go ahead and make fun of the press over solar activity, Moi.
I've been following and studying this for a while, and it's a real threat.
I fully expect a "killshot" to the grid any time now.
I think we should seriously consider making some human sacrifices on the temple very soon.
Fun fact: Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb, the anus forms before any other opening. Which basically means at one point you were nothing but an asshole. Some people never develop beyond this stage!
Yep, when we no longer have electricity anywhere in the country then what?
Remember this is a new technology, 135 years ago it did not exist and next week it may not exist again.
OH NO< what will Moi do, No internet.
What am I saying.

Not to worry.
I have an automatic Natural Gas electricity generator attached to my home.
Moi, you having a generator will not keep the internet up. dontchuknow

Seems to me that the Higgs Boson joke works no less well for "High Church Episcopalians." As in the Protestant Episcopal Church.
Me bad?
Re: I Wonder
River. Not to worry.
The internet has energy back ups too.
And not off one trunk line.
"They" need to be back-up'ed from file losses, etc.
Likewise the various purveyors of the internet.
Anyone seeing spectacular or unusual Northern Lights tonite? Really.
River, please look.

How does an American destroyer collide with an oil tanker
if it is not aiming for it?
http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-...tanker-in-gulf
"DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) A U.S. Navy guided missile destroyer was left with a gaping hole on one side after it collided with an oil tanker early Sunday just outside the strategic Strait of Hormuz. . ."

USN, No Gaydar or Radar. Don't look, don't beam.
good question, one which will be answered in time, of course you wont believe it.
Conspiracy theory and all.

I was at the (Godsend good) chiropractor this AM in my folks' tiny town. Got treated to the most wonderfull muscle massage and adjustment i've ever had - a mere $40 for 90 minutes - I'd have gladly paid twice that. And a lecture about every Goddamned right wing and libertarian consipiracy theory to be heard. Undoubtedly there will be one arising from this incident too - no doubt Iran engineered it.
