Ok, here's one thing about that article... What currency is it talking about? The British Pound compared to our Dollar? Because remember, their money is worth twice what ours is. Making it... Wow... Almost the same price. Just a thought... They don't really specify. Could be just a bunch of propaganda, that we all rush off to believe before we actually know the truth. Dallin

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.
