I understand people will pay it, but that's just capitalism at it's finest. Doesn't mean it's right though, just what people will bear. What I think is strange though is that people are upset that police etc make as much as they do. It's just a no brainer to me, but maybe my priorities are screwed.

As far as my sig goes, it's true I've payed a lot of money to support bands in my life, but I think I've probably donated/supported my local police/fire dept./hospital/Stars with as much money over the years, so it's not quite so ironic as it first appears
