    then dumb and silent we may be led,

    They bumped up the yuan more, but the problem will continue. Stocks rebounded some.

    I was merely pointing out the other countries -as they use them to hammer us a lot, and we have allowed for such. Preferably, they would be gotten rid of, but foreign countries don't want that either.

    What countries are using them to hammer us, other than China? Historically countries have used them to protect certain industries, especially new or emerging ones.

    No issues in here, just saw your reply now, but I'm gonna head out to my local park and do some walking. I don't think I'm up to politics lately.

    Kath, don't take this the wrong way, but you have sucked lately. I don't know what it is, maybe the heat, maybe well who knows, but you have been extra snippy the last few weeks, with me , with Jimmy, and with Gunny at least. You okay?
