Tastes so expensive as these are simply not likely to survive. The environment places limits on the variability of tastes among the residents of that environment. In one sense, the aim of civilization (including the growth of income) is to widen the tolerances of the environment."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18156735.post-86357568752750262782008-05-15T20:02:00.000+07:002008-05-15T20:02:00.000+07:00I agree!
