[Trombone-l] End of the Music world is coming

[thetubameister@adelphia.net]

Low wages in an isolated economy don't necessarily mean poor quality.  It is poor training at a start-up assembly with crud materials that does that.  I'm sure there are poor artists who make quality stuff - it's just not as profitable for a US company to pay for that over the even cheeper stuff.

As to Nixon, well, we're just gonna have to adapt - we can't undo without damaging the people more than the government.  Only the people there can change their government and thereby bring their economy into balance with the rest of the world.
