Capitalism cannot "run rampant". Capitalism is simply allowing individuals to decide how to spend their money. What you are saying is you object to individuals' choices. What is scary is that you want the government to stop them and make them do what you or some other busy-body thinks is right. What happens when some do-gooder decides you shouldn't be aloud to buy anything larger than a 15W amp, with your money, so as not to damage your hearing or to avoid "noise-pollution"? Here's an idea. How about we "socialize" your guitar gear?
