      The header is self

    If I had to hazard a guess?...I would say it more about money than
    anything else. Especially in THIS day & age when the economic
    landscape is bleak....and there's more "cloning" going on than
    anything else....(Apple vs. Samsung?) even those hi-def TV's that
    started out costing $3000.00 a pop are now...what?....like $600 at
    WalMart?.....just the capitalistic "nature of the beast"....
