: : Barry, what I am trying to make you see that when you decide to become a musician, and excel at it, it would be very hard if you were constantly forced to switch jobs every so often and devote time to something you don't want to do.

: Aw, shucks! We'll just have to let you do ALL the music while someone else does all the cleaning, won't we?

Barber's "Adagio for Strings": brings tears to my eyes every time.

Barry, how would your socialist economy accomodate people like David, who need to practice their skill intensively in order to master it?
