Economics 101 - destroying something only reduces net societal value by the intrinsic worth of the item. The world is now 'worse off' by one shitty bag - one could easily make a case that this is a net gain.
Attention all Marxists and confused Socialists: Nobody is spending your money when purchasing a luxury item, like a mansion, a sports car, whatever. Actually, the purchases help to feed workers who produce those items. It is clear to any logical human being that Socialism is based on envy for those who have money and this envy is gaining ground against the most sensible position that those who make money and spend them actually support those lazy bastards who are looking for wealth redistribution through high taxation. I exclude from this disgusting category of people those who are disabled and who I also argue that should be supported by the State at the expense of those who are healthy and make money. Socialism is not a political stand but IMO a serious decease that is the result of psychosis against those who have been successful through hard work. We should all work towards a society where socialist ideas will finally be outlawed. Stupid socialists do not understand that they become the tool of corrupted political parties that are looking to gain power by promising violent income redistribution. This is equivalent to a crime IMO and should be punishable by law. Taxed should be at a level that they provide welfare to those that do not work at a level that is marginally tolerable and forces them to want to work, not a confortable lifestyle at the expense of those who do the work. This means IMO that taxes should be cut in half worldwide.
I don't see what she did as being different than that German putting those orange gates in Central Park. Pointless but something magical about it given the mystique around the bag.
She got robbed if she bought the bag for 100k Could have bought the same one on ebay for 35 k : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-P...114?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item519f9d73ca
