I don't recall saying I was solely the subject of that argument. I made a general statement. I am sure everyone knows people that have been engaged with the stuff going on that are out of commission for for a bit of time. As there are an estimated 39,000 working out there now. Some 20,000 on beach clean up across the gulf and 17,500 national guard.
I don't disagree with any statements posted in this thread except tihis one.

Or the small business owner who is directly effected and waiting to see how things are going to shake out, not having the fiscal security to risk any non-necessity spending right now.

It is a complex issue with many different facets that effect everything, including the hobby. So I stand by the more pressing issues argument as it will effect hobbying on many different levels for many different reasons. It is not a simple I post therefore I am issue.
