Well welcome back to the richard head room sir
Yeah I figured as much.. And by the "tabs" on his avatar I know what he is and done.. If thats why he has them..
Hey bypass thanks
Its all good man. It is just the internet everyone is superman. My skin has thickened some hanging around this place. You just reminded me of someone I knew from a while back with your comments.
Don't blame the ODT. That thickening of the skin is a serious condition.
I don't post much cause I don't feel I have much interesting to say. But this idea that gouging is somehow part of capitalism bugs me a bit. Gouging is always bad business. Hurting the customer is always bad business. Bad business is not what makes free enterprise work. It was mortgage companies pushing houses people couldn't afford on people that helped lead to the housing collapse. And while we can't take all the blame off the buyer, bad business practices helped coerce those with limited knowledge into bad situations. So lets stop all this gouging is the American way crap. And how far do we take the supply and demand argument? When we use supply and demand as a reason to misuse our fellow humans, then we have lost part of our humanity.
Having said that, we don't limit freedom of speech either, so I guess I will have to just completely ignore the sellers who are willing to cut the throat of their fellow believers in the 2nd Amendment. But it makes me sad. At a time when we should be trying our damnedest to get more guns into every home, many are doing their best to ensure that the average guy that might like to have one, simply cannot afford it. If the time ever comes when we are forced to truly defend with our lives our rights, I hope we do better than this.
