A pre-declaration of value, or pre-establishment of price, hardly makes the "worth" an absolute.

The buyer determines what something is worth based on a number of considerations. Considerations are made in how it enhances their life, by satiating current hunger with the purchase of a food stuff, if it keeps them warm as a sweater or coat may, or even how it can allow them to be more efficient in creating their own wealth through the use of a tool or specialized device.

Growth is often equated with survival in business and perhaps elsewhere..

Sometimes however, that "big score" can threaten the very existence of your business.  Rather than enhance, it becomes an anchor, an albatross, a white elephant if you will.  Added responsibility sans the wherewithal, or perhaps miscalculated costs can bury the dreams of the business owner who fails to calculate a little for chance, or happenstance.

While it seems that no one "forces" the patrons of this business to sample its wares, the "hook" in the ingredients and the savaging of bank accounts and savings that result from the ingestion of its drug keeps them coming back for more.  The never ending cycle once started is near impossible to cure. Ultimately it is quite unavoidable for some.

Consider the consequence..  Take the drug once addicted, and live a relatively benign existence, or refuse the drug and take your chances with a suffering that is both uncomfortable, and potentially deadly. The very worst part of the entire process of habitual obsession and consumption, is that the entire time the user should know it is not natural, and not indigenous to our society, either culturally or otherwise.  

I know that feeling.. After today it may return.

I had another article lined up for today, but this message needs to be repeated. And the time is critical.

That's just not fun..  Waiting?

Particularly when someone gets an itch that needs to be scratched NOW, that pleasure of holding what you have bought is sometimes immeasurable.  Its the reward for saving a few dollars, or even knowing that you work hard enough to afford what you are getting, and can sometimes add to the fuel that motors you forward, become more productive and be able to super size your deal the next time around.

Sadly, Politics can respond much in the same way.  Overblown, over complicated product of the political mind is often bought all too easily by a public which always wants NEW and IMPROVED, but soon finds nothing improved but the packaging, and shiny new logos.  And then, as the cycle goes, the product that was bought and sometimes returned, soon finds its way back out on the shelf looking like the next generation of solutions in the dollar store of ideas.  

If I don't know how to operate something, have little experience with a product, or do not feel as though I could sufficiently support (technically) an item I sell, I will try to let my customer know.  By doing so, that customer usually does one of the following:

a.Walks away, and finds someone else who offers better support.
b.Continues to deal with me on the products of which I have more experience.
c.Takes a chance and buys all the products from me KNOWING I may not be able to help technically.
