I for one agree. "Political issues" that resonate in the clay bin ARE of
concern to us. EPA decisions, liability laws, proiducts with only minor
risks involved being banned--all this matters to us, and we benefit from
being made aware of it.
By the way: to the best of my recollection books used to stay in print
much, much longer, because the tax laws favored publishers warehousing
books. Then in the mid-60s early-70s--around there--the law was
changed-and so wonderful books have teensy tiny printings and disappear
like fades away the morning dew.
Some lawyers were complaining
the other day that we maligned them. OK. Tell us please, then, what that
law was, when it was changed--so we all can write our Congresspeople to
change it back. (Pottery books are small print run items anyway.)
Why not endear yourselves to us? Heh?

What "some lawyers" were complaining about the other day were
generalizations lumping all lawyers together and personifying them as
negative; you know like people that say potters are not "real" artists or
potters really don't work or potters charge to much for their crafted
pieces.
As to changes in congressional law, this "some lawyers" knows almost nothing
about the changes you referrence. Law like potter is a vast field and there
are those of us mere mortal that don't know it all. By the way Congress
changes the law and the majority of Congressmen are non-lawyers.
