If Drugs and IC remember, they can tell you that I advocated less racing LONG ago. More racing is not better racing. Most of the ills of racing can be traced to "more racing". When racing was one of the big three sports in the US (with baseball and boxing), there wasn't even any winter racing up north. You are never going to return to those days, of course, but the idea that "more" is somehow automatically indicative of a "better" game is obviously disproved by history.
When an area is logged out, you just don't need as many loggers around. We don't need as many horse people, period. No one is guaranteed a lifetime profession in a capitalist society. The goal should be to preserve what is best, and lose the rest.
