Sure, which is why I used the term "generally" as opposed to language that would be more absolute in nature. But generally, I believe the government needs to butt out of such things as well. In time the market generally finds a way. There are of course exceptions, especially prevalent at the dawn of the prior century.

There are exceptions to every rule, but they are just that. I challenge anyone to find anything that is perfect in life outside of the following:

• 1967 Corvette Stingray convertible with a 427 and side pipes
• Boiled Maine lobster fresh off the boat eaten at a picnic table out of a paper basket with lemon and melted butter
• Boobies
• Tacos
• Fireflies
• That which is the "Glorious Maximus"

Change that to boiled Nova Scotia lobster and your list will be golden.

Crap. Now I want lobster!
