In the example, the only limit is on the paintings in my style. The total number of paintings available has not been affected. The use of force in market economics is only forbidden in an ideal free market. An ideal free market cannot exist in the real world, mainly because humans are not ideal creatures. When humans are included in the equation is when I try to avoid speaking in absolutes... humans are such darn slippery critters.... ;) -- Chris J.
