[wterrell]

A hobby is a pure expression of ourself: what we strive for and value in our character, what we demand of ourselves, the degree of compromise that we will accept, etc. If we accept things that are bogus, are happy with substitution, and are not descriminating, a hobby will not change us, only allow expression of our values.
Some have the hobby of shooting, some the hobby of selling, some the hobby of collecting, etc. Lugers comprise more than a single category of hobby.
