Guitars, "Good" Laws & Gov't Regs Don't Mix

I have previously posted on this issue with Federal agents search Gibson Guitar factory in Memphis and CEO of Gibson Guitar a Republican donor; Democrat competitor uses same wood.

Most of The Westerner today is devoted to this issue, since it involves both endangered species and music, two issues we endeavor to cover here.  Plus, this is a prime example of how "do-good" legislation sponsored by a Republican and signed into law in 1900 by a Republican President, and later amended and signed into law by George W. Bush to include wood, can have far reaching consequences never envisioned by the proponents.

Once a power of this nature is granted to the government, you can rest assured it will be abused.
