This is a very sad commentary on skills that we value and pay for. We don't mind giving a sports figure or a Hollywood star millions of dollars for just entertainment, nor do we mind paying a lawyer, accountant or phychologist $350/hr.

But heaven help us of we find value in a skilled persons hands and we have to pay more than $89.00 for a good straight razor. Watch the list of razor brands to avoid go up and up.

This is why I am pushing people to support Al and The Bomb. We need people to want to learn to become skilled and to consume their skill instead of just being addicted to cheap stuff.

I'm sorry for offending anyone here in any of the above occupations, but we value some of the worst things that man has offered us.
