As with questions regarding hard science, international economics is a very 
complex animal.  Being an average information-weary denizen of this planet, 
a planet where specialities of knowledge are becoming as thin as a R.P.H. 
each and every day, I wonder what kind of position I could take regarding 
such issues of foreign currency exchange, entropy, what have you, when I am 
so unfit, despairingly so, to take any such position.  One could read all 
one wants, but the truth is the on the street, ignorant and brutal, naive, 
and terrifying, and all its dancers on whatever side come out lessened in 
this one confused brain of mine. We are all part of the situation, no soap 
boxes or moral banners, here.
One wonders everyday about the Situation, and guess what:  are we any 
different from Mr Stencil Sr., before we all, at some hopefully large amount 
of time, get caught by that whirlpool, lamenting the complexity of the world 
and maybe, just maybe thankful for the uncertainty?
