Also, consumption loans are bad, m'kay guys?

That there lolbertarian Chick Tract (full credit to Watser?) would have be perfect had the illustrator given Baker and Charlie dark black skin, gleaming white eyeballs and teeth, ceremonial African head dresses and bones through their noses. Murray Rothbard, Lew Rockwell and Ron "I don't believe in evolution cuz it's just a theory" Paul would be badly disappointed.

I like that the loan of fish while the other fishermen make their own nets is at 100% interest. I also like the "greed is a force for social good" message, which postulates that in capitalism, to gain wealth the greedy have to provide more income for everyone. Magically! I guess that's how the labor movement started- everyone was having their income increase, and they had a lot of free time to get pissed about how great things were in CompanyTown . Now I know so much more.
