Yes, I have also endured the anti-mash orthodoxy, which I might add are invariably fobbish first-generation intellectual poseurs, barely literate in the language, who don't get American humor at all. I have to reiterate to such KA friends the era during which the series enjoyed its heyday, and how seeing it as a series about the Korean war is only the most literal interpretation that belies it true function as a thinly cloaked satire about Vietnam. When I get them to see it that way, especially vis-a-vis the 70's angst and anti-Vietnam fever, KA's seems to be willing to give MASH a second chance as one of the most brilliantly written episodic anti-war sitcoms ever produced. Long live MASH and hopefully I'll be able to get through my massive complete episode DVD collection that I got last year for Christmas!

It was a figure of speech, to emphasize that I feel that North Korea, at the rate it's going, will collapse very soon. If North Korea collapse, you can be sure that the Korean won will lose an awful lot of its value. I speaking literally.

The North Koreans used to float balloons over the DMZ and drop-litter leaflets. What would happen if Santa Claus road his sleigh over NK at night and littered the countryside with Chinese Yuan? I believe the fire of capitalism has already sparked in North Korea and can not be put out. I'd be wiling to throw a few bucks into the experiment. I have an idea for an experiment.

Perhaps they are angry that they can see it coming sooner than later. Yet, the Chinese must know that the inevitable will eventually come.

"Short term" you mean under six months or a year on the outside. Still think you could lose as the markets are usually looking six months in advance. US currency is a safer bet with minimal downside.
