They tried making the show organizers police their exhibitors, and then, yeah, if the sale potential is big, it might "move to the parking lot," or dinner afterwards, or two weeks later, to a phone sale.</p> <p>Seems like if every state doesn't have the same laws on something, enforcement problems are sure to follow. The horsemeat scandal in Europe is something along similar lines....</p> <p>Another thing that came to mind is the gun buying scene in the movie <em>Taxi Driver, </em>the motormouth arms &amp; drugs dealer happy to service all of Travis' desires, whatever they might be. But that's neither here nor there, |I think.</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 19 Feb 2013 07:19:15 +0000 artappraiser comment 174740 at http://dagblog.com
