Love your home page here on FR. Pictures are unbelievable. WOW. I also like the thing about wearing Dusters. I've always wanted one of those. Never could quite justify it, though. Also would probably look kinda odd wearing it here in Miami, FL. I don't own a horse or a motorcycle where this would look like a natural fit, but maybe someday I will. Please also remember that I posted this not so much in the vein of the economics of it all as you were pointing out but more from the view of Christian eschatology.

The original dusters in Australia were made from sail canvas. I have a horse and two dusters. One duster is the classical and the other has team logo on it from my mounted shooting days. They are both in the attic. Now when I trail ride I wear an ECWS coat.

Understood, ExSoldier -- and thanks! :-)

I should apologize and clarify here ... My comment wasn't directed so much at your response as it was at the general tone of alarm on various threads around FreeRepublic that's been presented regarding China's currency issues.
