But the article is talking mostly about importing from the UK.  Do
American college students make twice as much as their counterparts in
England?

I don't view it as much of a scam.  They are different markets with very
different members and different demand.  I don't think our Global Market
is
really all that close; think of Bryan's salary compaired to that of an
Asian
farmer.  This is why kids in San Francisco aren't complaining too much
cuz I
pay $2 less for my Lucky Charms in Denver.
