     And find and purchase that Telecaster of my dreams and a cherry vintage Fender Deluxe (or Princeton) Reverb amp.  Do I want lots of money?  Heck yeah!  Is that selfish, hell no.


    In a world where you could stop kids in the world from dying with that money. Yes, it is selfish. 

    Huh?  I'm talking about one of these:
    Not one of these:

    You really lost me there, bud.  And did you miss the other parts of what I wrote.

    I'm with my friend Brian on this one. I bought my first Tele 12 years ago, and my first nicer-quality amp (Fender Deluxe Reverb) 2 years ago. Will be buying myself a new Tele this year without guilt. I hope over my lifetime to give the value of that guitar many times over to worthy causes.

    What about transgendered????

    This would be pretty cool though. I’m kinda like Hugh it seems as in all things close to equal I vote for the woman.  Will be interesting to see what the field looks like come Ohio.

    I am not in any way saying you should not buy that guitar. Or that I would not have bought the same one if I could play guitar.

    I don't see any argument against what I said in here. Have fun with your tele.

    Thanks! Here's my argument: my guitar has been one of few tools effective at fending off my depression whenever I feel myself getting there. If I can't find a source of joy for myself, I'm in no position to help others. Call it materialistic, I'm not as good a person as others, but it's an important source of self-therapy for me.

    What's wrong with being selfish anyhow?  I don't mean in a way that's detrimental to others or being piggishly "mine mine mine!", but as with the many judgments we make on a daily basis, we do the same with our wants and needs.

    I might find one's purchases ridiculous or over the top, but that's their choice.  There shouldn't even have to be a disclaimer of "well, I give X amount to charities so this is OK".

    You worked for it, you bought it, done.

    Agreed.  For example, one could argue that buying records is a very selfish exercise.  There are plenty of ways to listen to music that are less taxing on teh environment and also allow a person to donate that money to charity (or to voluntary gov't tax) instead.  But candidly I buy records, and I know Spiritual Chaos does as well.
