Yeah.........well, after following this thread for days, I keep wondering why we are all incensed for some reason over the motives of CBS, Worldwide Pants, or Ani herself. The whole discussion here has been interesting, but the reality is that in business, profit is not a dirty word.

Most of us here tend to scrape by, others do better and some worse. Our mindset is more people oriented than anything else and I doubt that any of us are more interested in money than the ability to do things our own way. So when we look at the CBS types it's hard to understand their motives for doing it THEIR way because although we don't begrudge them a profit, we just would like to see them with a few less bucks and a bit more soul.(:<))

Whether it should work that way or not, it does. It's like tracing the interlocking directorates of steel companies and coal companies and telling the tale of lost mineral rights. We relinquished rights to many things, not just minerals, years ago in favor of ease and convenience........and it was inevitable under the system we established.

As to the song.........yeah, well...........Phil Ochs she ain't.
