As a no-apologies capitalist, I do believe that it is really dumb to manufacture so many ebony clarinets and pernambuco bows for horse's patoots who can't appreciate them, whereas if those trees grew some more (and multiplied), they wouldn't be a shortage for future fine players.

(Please notice that I'm not suggesting that these trees be preserved to HUG - rather to be later put to better USE.)

Joe "who believes that the monied schlocks who end up with these fine products today will crack and break them so that they cannot be passed on to future truly accomplished players" S.

(How's that for a somewhat radical leftist attitude from a radical free trade capitalist/libertarian?)
