How come they're all white guys? Disparate impact!

Can't do this in school. Besides, he owes his extra fish to the other two--they exist.

Perhaps not for long.

This is roughly the way Locke describes it, actually, so I'm not sure how subversive it is. I mean, in 1689 it was -- Locke published it anonymously.

The next insight is that the fish, even dried or salted, is a poor store of value. Thus they invent the concept of money, which allows stored wealth to survive without corruption... well, the wealth itself does not rot.

It's subversive today, too--the same Monarchists have been in charge for the last 80 or more years.

And, per FDR, fish would make a fine store of value--Evil Capitalists have no...business...holding onto their wealth for any length of time; it must be spent. Forthwith.

The comments over there at zero hedge are always a such an entertainment, if your idea of entertainment is watching crazy people argue with each other.

Sort of like visiting Bedlam in the 18th century.
