"I think that people need to lighten up and stop   
taking political correctness so seriously, because 
it is just another form of socialism."

Uh, no it's not.  PC-ness hasn't a damn thing to do 
with, say, universal health care.

For the record, the most expensive cel I own cost 
me $150, shipped.  

And I can explain the whole phenomenon of seemingly 
mediocre cels remaining on a dealer's site for 
months and then suddenly being purchased, because 
I've purchased cels just like that: The buyer has 
recently seen the animation in question, would like 
a cel from it, but realizes that most cels from the 
show are fairly expensive, and so purchases what 
he/she feels is a nice cel for a budget price.
