If Romney is elected President, do you think he'll push for the UK to adopt the US dollar?
I've got dual citizenship and currently live in the UK. However, there is something about Romney that makes me feel uneasy.

Why did my friend do this?
Today in class we were given the last period of our day for a 'free' slot. Most of the class just chatted with their buddies and whatnot, and I was talking to two others.
Suddenly a friend of ours comes along and wants to know what we were talking about. When he asked, I instantly told the others to not tell him what I said and gave them both a couple of dollars to keep quiet.
Upset, my friend kept demanding we "tell him", and even hit me a few times to get me to talk. However, nobody answered him.
After the bell went, I came back to his locker to laugh at him, but he just stared at the floor and said nothing.
Why did he react this way?
