    I swear, you can turn even the most pleasant converation into a weird challenge. I think I'll pass on this one.

    no...my point was.... if lobstermen make a living selling their lobsters for X dollars per pound, do you expect them to continue to be able to make a living if they reduced their price to .3X per pound?

    in fact, lobstermen don't operate with a very large profit margin at all.

    I certainly was not trying to be unpleasant.

    If you made widgets at work, and your company sold widgets for X dollars, and you wanted to increase demand, lowering your price to a fraction of X might accomplish that.... but in the world of fish, increasing demand does not actually cause more lobsters to grow!

    and another interesting fact: when the tourists leave, the price drops!

    We used to call them rats of the sea. Just like seagulls are rats of the air.

    But rats are soft and cuddly. No one wants to cuddle a Repugnican.
    If you're worth less than $5 million and you vote for McCain, you're a loser.
