blindsquirrel.org: iTunes, you have a problem

    You had me, I was rivited, I was yellin' you go man, stick it to the man until you got to the point that you mentioned "...I'm a share holder..." and then it hit me, POW, you're not worried about we consumers over paying to listen to Dylan, it's all about you and your precious stock price, isn't it.

    You're all honked off because you're losing your precious $.10 per song you capitalistic snob. As soon as a competitor comes into the market place and undercuts your market cap, you want action. Post your snail mail address and I'll send you my pocket change. Here's 2 bits on me....call Stevie J and demand immediate action.

    I bet you own Walmart stock too.

    Thanks for the advice though.

    Dr G, you were so close, but no conspiracy intended. My point was actually the opposite; I was stating that if a share holder won't use the product, what chance do they have with a regular consumer?

    No Walmart stock - I'm one of the guys that thinks Walmart's practices helped make China the economic power house it is today, all at the expense of the American economy. Remember the days when Walmart used to advertise "Made In America?"

    Squirrel-meister, for the time being, I will accept your explanation as well intentioned but be advised that you are on the good Doctor's watch list. If I ever feel you are using the "power of the Squirrel" for personal financial gain as opposed to a triumph of good over evil, well let's just say the reprocussion would be harsh.

    I too remember the days of 'Made in America' as well as the times when there were people in America that make buggy whips. We don't lower ourselves to that level any more. We have people for that.
