Frogman, I don't care how another man spends his money either, but I was trying to exemplify how the gap between rich and poor is widening. I don't believe any "audiophile" would spend $23,000 on a 3 foot interconnect, because he would know the factors involved; such as resistance, conductance, capacitance, and realize how foolish it was; while someone who had been in on the greatest heist ever, which was the robbery of the average, or middle class American when the commodity markets were "illegally manipulated" causing gasoline and food, two necessities of life, to cost twice as much as normal.
In the past you seem to have interpreted my statements regarding such things as having a relationship to capitalism and the "American way of life". What I stated was about over-riding the CFTC and breaking laws that had been laid down to prevent "commodity market manipulation". Imagine if you could "illegally" shift the prices in the commodity markets and reap the profits.
When I guided you to a website that explicitly explained how and when such a thing was done, you simply shrugged it off with a non-comment.
I used those interconnects to exemplify how that group of people who spend money like "confetti" is growing.
