I do not think it takes a lot of intelligence to figure out that this new market, does not have a very long shelf life as the laws will be coming to restrict them heavily. Best to just insulate ourselves from the activity in the first place.
V-G, I could certainly live with your thinking. Unfortunately, the people of this country seem to just have to have the latest new thing. Be it new clothing item, different hairstyle, eat at a new restaurant, drive a new car, bigger house, etc., etc. Look at how RC modelers are: latest style, Big Bird, new engine, and all kinds of whatever the latest thing might be. If Joe Blow has a new Big Bird, then everyone in his club has to have one, then the next club sees and does same, etc. etc.
Years ago, I saw RC modelers to be just like kids in school, whatever Johnie gets then so does Johnie's friend, and on it goes.
However not all of us have that trait, THANKFULLY.
