    Susannah, Miscommunication is such a wonderful thing.First of all I
    did not catalogue any race or person or economic strata.I was
    responding to someone else's use of the word schlock to describe
    lower end jewelry.My point and I will try to make it understandable
    to all without being politically incorrect is this.This country and
    planet is made up of many different people  All are different and
    enjoy different things including jewelry.That being the case I
    thought it would be ok to put my view out that there is nothing
    wrong with a working stiff buying a  cheap ring from a chain store or
    God forbid Wal-Mart that brought them as much joy as spending $300
    dollars to pay MY rent.The flip side of that I believe is this, it is
    perfectly OK for a  despicable wealthy person to spend their dough on
    a finely crafted work of art.Even though we all know wealthy people
    don't earn cash it is given to them.I hope that doesn't sound like
    Iam defending the wealthy.By the way I don't have employees I work
    all six stores and 3 benches by myself.That makes me not "THE MAN"
    just a working stiff trying to make a living. Total Regards J Morley

    spokesperson for the poor OR the wealthy
