Shows that capitalism doesn't work does it? The greedy wind up having everything and control food prices, jobs, etc. The greedy are the modern day equivalent of "rakshasas" though I have also pointed out that in modern Hindi the word "rakshasa" is also used to describe a "wicked person." Capitalism breeds entropy and an imbalance to society. It may work fine in small populations where it is difficult to accumulate too much wealth. The solution is to restrict estates to only a few million dollars. Beyond that a progressive tax kicks in. That's not to make money for the government but to discourage greed or money addiction. Be thankful there is a food stamp program or you would be more likely to get robbed walking down the street. Or have a more difficult time figuring out if the guy begging for money is going to actually use it for food or a can of malt liquor. > > Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of > the Interior, asks us to "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." > > > Their stated reason for the policy is because the animals will grow dependent > on handouts, become lazy, get fat, and will not learn how to take care of > themselves, and will become completely helpless burdens on society. But there is plenty of free food for the animals in those parks. They don't need to be fed by park visitors. I mentioned the dimbos that feed the birds at the local park (usually with white bread crumbs which is not good for them) in the parking lot which is dangerous for the birds. There is a pond with a beach nearby to feed the birds. No rule saying you can't either. But that pond has plenty of fish for feeding and there is a huge strait next to the park too which has plenty of fish so no bird is going to starve. And the main thing we get from the bird feeders is bird shit on our cars. > > This ends today's lesson. I'll give you a D for effort. :-D
