Land yourself a decent paying job and you might be able to afford yourself a nice SG or sumthin... or is that also wrong... how dare one man be paid more than another, for this is Animal Farm!:1orglaugh
At least you get something for your expenses when buying a Gibson, unlike the government who seem to have less than nothing to show the taxpayers for their contribution... now that is expensive!
:yesyes:If there's a market for them, why shouldn't they produce a choice product?

No- more than likely they are all drummers.

what the fuck you lookin at?
A government who already has a fucked up economy raids a factory. confiscating wood. As a result 500 people lose their jobs...how the fuck is this gonna help fix the economy?
Well you can't allow illegal activity to go on just for the sake of jobs. Unless you wanna support Al Capone for keeping the police and bartenders employed.
Otherwise you create a precedence of an unstable economy translating to business opportunities and then a desire for a bad economy because you can make money on the cheap by illegal means.

It mainly deals with deforestation. Mahagony, for example, is harvested from plantations were specific trees (depending on age, size, etc) are cut. The raises the price, but there will be enough trees for more beds, floors, etc. The one thing is once the tree is cut, it really does not make a difference. So instead of trashing the wood, keep part as an example and while the trial goes through let them continue manufacturing. If the company is aquitted, no harm no foul. If they are found guilty, whatever profit the company received is seized & an additional fine is given.:2 cents:

^^^This.
Several people I went to school with lost their jobs when Drexel Burnham Lambert went bankrupt after the gubmnet got hold of Michael Milken.
If Gibson did nothing wrong, then the firm should be vindicated. If they did something wrong, then there is a price to be paid... whether they employ 10 people or 10,000 people. Bank of America employs almost 300,000 people. I guess that's an acceptable reason for not prosecuting them for money laundering in the Mexican Cartel scandal (that no one seems to know anything about
).
