I don't believe these are unintended consequences, number one.
Two, these are not laws created by our representatives.
These are the specific consequences we were warned about by our Founders, of a ever increasing centralized government.
Of a bureaucracy that rights it's own rules and regulations based on it's own agenda and devoid of input or inspite of the input of the American people.
Of a two party system that has as it's main goal to increase it's size and power and get reelected.
Of States who for the same power and control reasons fails to stand up to the Feds.
That's why they have both demagogued the Tea Party as racists, right wing crazies, etc.
How dare the citizens stand up and try to correct this, how dare they interfere with our agenda.
November 2012, if you guys pull the lever for a non Tea Party candidate you are endorsing the destruction of our nation and in our generation we will have lost our inheritance, we will be the generation that lost it, and our children will bear the brunt, pay the bills and live in a socialist society that will steadily decline.
It is that important. Vote. This next election may be the last opportunity for Americans to hold sway and determine our, our children's future.

There needs to be a balanced approach to conservation. IMO this is the typical knee jerk reaction when the govt. is convinced to step in and regulate/tax an industry where there is no teeth to the law and little if any regulation, then the pendulum swings the other way whereby they add teeth/over-regulate to the point of ridiculous. Nobody has the forsight to contemplate the unintended consequences. It doesn't matter, if the law is hurting jobs or businesses. On the hill all is quiet, no problems, because the flow of money to the dimwhits passing the legislative tripe has not been interrupted.
The product seized must have come thru customs. Why was it not red flagged then and there. To disrupt the flow of business at the guitarmakers facility is pure nazi tactics. Send out the stormtroopers in the name of the Sierra club or Greenpiece why don't you! The govt. thinks there is a problem because of the aforementioned groups hype. Never thought about the stormtroopers favoritism. I didn't have those facts and figures either Destroyer. Interesting...:fight:

Yea its a BE Maple. Its a 94 or 96 Epi-Paul but it might as well be J. Page's in my eyes. Its one of the prettiest woods Ive seen and I just had to have it. Its looks the same today as when I bought it and you can still see your face in it.

Id love to see your Jag. sounds awesome!!!! I bet that D-50 sounds sweet too!!!!
