        @aral Would you feel differently if the tagline was "I'll design a logo for enough money to feed my family for a week"?

        @jonathanstark That’s a straw man. Counter: Do you not believe he deserves the same money you do just because he lives somewhere else?

        @aral Speechless. When design is denigrated to this type of commodity it is time for something else. Hotdog stand is looking pretty sweet...
