Not sure how to respond to this, since I'm neither a yuppie (if anything I'm downwardly mobile away from the urbanity since I took a huge paycut to leave Manhattan five years ago for the calm tree-lined streets of a college town in Northern California) nor a radical (whatever the hell that is).
But yes, personal attacks aside: the Dollar/Rupiah trade comment was a joke, as was Doug's rejoinder about keeping up with the competition.
