Treasury Dept. unveils the new look of the nickel

The film done by Ken Burns on PBS "Lewis And Clark." It would be well worth your time to watch. I found it to be awesome, a very moving story. The tenacity of these men to continue, when they had no idea what they would find.

I'm offended by the "one nation under god" and thus always refused to say the pledge in school.

I'm also offended by "in god we trust"

In addition, I find the nickel with the "peace medal" on it offensive as it celebrates the destruction and bettrayal that the Americans did to the Natives Americans.

Treaties my ass, they didn't get **** for them. And whatever they did get it was taken away after a few years.

There is suppossed to be a separation of church and state, if there really was then and god reference on federal currency, or anything like the pledge should be removed. I dont think anythign is wrong with it in principal by itself, but when the government tries to make such a big deal out of the separation I find it offensive that they leave it in.

I'm very sorry to hear that teabgs. I believe that this country was founded by very religous men. That is why it is in all of their writings. I think that without God, this country is doomed.
