What is so sad about this, as Del mentioned, it goes against our basic rights
of freedom of speech. Not only that, but although is appears that it is
illegal for independent people in the same industry who belong to a Guild to
discuss prices, it is perfectly legal for independent electricians, plumbers,
brick payers, etc, who belong to a union, to not only discuss how much they
are going to charge, but set a fee. Now where is the justice in that?
