![]() It turns out that liberals are in favor of mandatory aBxism testing for consumer audio. Blogworld is abuzz with talk about this revelation. Conservatives, ever the staunch defenders of the marketplace, have rallied to denounce aBxism. Behind their empty rhetoric about the marketplace being perfect -- and all the usual capitalist claptrap -- the truth is that conservatives are the real power behind the E.H.E.E. They don't want the truth to come out about the performance of expensive audio gear being indistinguishable from econoboxes in level-matched, double-blind tests because it would threaten the huge profits of the E.H.E.E. members. Liberals, naturally, take the enlightened view that consumers should be forcibly educated. To pay for the mandatory "tests", liberal politicians have proposed a 25% tax on all home audio products priced below the 90th percentile of the marketplace. These funds will enable all audio retailers to install "testing" rooms with equipment such as aBxism boxes, blindfolds, and a tape loop of soothing propaganda that explains the virtues of "tests" and the evils of consumerism. -- A day without Krooger is like a day without radiation poisoning. |

Hey George, Hey Scooter, Since you obviously have way too much time to deal with constructively... I suggest you take up vinyl....it takes a bit of time and effort to get good sound... but it can have its rewards. What have you got to lose? Thanks Scottie for admitting Socctie that prolonged exposure to vinyl turned you into a drooling idiot Scrotum. -- A day without Krooger is like a day without radiation poisoning. |

It kinda reminds me of 1984, altered by the realization that since no one reads anymore anyway, book burning is irrelevant. |

Art --------- somewhat serious, in that I really expect "at least" a
little bit of cash for them. merc's, london's, some RCA's still left, an entire huge rock collection, blues. Where I'm going, I can't take them with me, waaaaaay too hot, they'll warp, besides, not enough room in the handbasket. Can't tote all that weight, either. |
