Eliminate the penny!!! I've been saying that since I came to Canada as
a 12 year old.

You round up or down 3 4 to 5 2 1 to 0. It ends up a statistical draw,
and, even if companies "strategically" price they're not going to be
getting ahead by much. The cost savings in not having to wait and/or
fish for pennies (I want to throttle people who pay with cash and have
to fumble for all those useless little coins (and then COUNT them),
let alone pennies).

As for tax payers -- they are the scum of the Earth (to put it
politely). That mentality assumes everyone has rights, and
conveniently forgets about the whole sticky responsibility issue (of
course, that wouldn't go well with the attitude of entitlement that
accompanies the tax payer).

Anyway, enough flame baiting for the moment.
