money = ignorance
The more ignorant I am of how to get what I need freely, naturally, in a healthy way, the more money you can get from me (if I have managed to find someone else ignorant to take it from).

For once I agree with Aella. Porn and Psychotherapy are roughly equally harmful to the consumer.

What really boggles me is when people pay more because things are rare... I understand fine design and materials and workmanship - a prada bag is special to hold, so they can demand very high margins multiples of cost to make each duplicate, but a rare stone or stamp ?
