  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
