[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 2045368, member: 7539"] A lesson in economics from my favorite comedy movie of all time: [I]Price. A fair price. That's not what you say it is, and it's not what I say it is... It's what the market will bear. Now there's people - and I know 'em - who'll pay a lot more than $25,000 for a healthy baby. Why, I myself fetched $30,000 on the black market. And that was in 1954 dollars. [/I] :) [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/suckerpunchcinema.com_main_wp_content_uploads_2010_12_leonard_smalls_raising_arizona.jpg[/IMG] Personally, I'd hate for OSA to be used as a conduit for those people who are not contributing members to only make a quick buck. At the same time though, most of us are lovers of freedom and a free market. The root problem here isn't how the market has reacted, its the whole issue of the VERY REAL threat to our freedoms. Take all of the energy you have stored up hating the price increases and dump it on the politicians who are artificially causing this mess. [/QUOTE]
