Happy Dia De Los Muertos, all you Wonkees! Grab a candy skull and let's commune with the spirits of the departed, which of course probably sounds like consorting with demons to our favorite deranged Christianist, Colorado radio preacher Kevin Swanson.
The seeds of the West&#039;s downfall were sown when Europe abandoned the hunter-gatherer economy and replaced it with an agrarian one. Also too it was forged when the inhabitants switched from stone tools to metal ones. And finally its extinction was bred when Europeans failed to secure their southern border and allowed a flood of <i>H. sapiens sapiens</i> immigrants from Africa to overrun their continent and displace their traditional Neanderthal culture. People similar to Swanson tried to warn them -- if only they had understood speech and had listened!
<i>Continuing in the shameful tradition of Descartes and Rousseau, he produced a child out of wedlock</i>
Not to mention 90% or the Gilded Age robber barons, European royalty, a majority of the patriarchs in the bibble, high ranking Republicans, priests and popes going back to the dawn of Christianity, the Virgin Mary.... What was his point again?
In my attempts to read &quot;Capital&quot;, I&#039;ve always found it a no-nonsense description of how capitalism works, and in large doses, kind of boring, like any other economics text. Somehow, I seem to have missed Marx&#039;s uncontrollable rage. Or maybe Swanson meant it made him furious.
The growing totalitarian state won&#039;t allow comments about state-run institutions on the interwebs, which are of course a public project paid for by The Taxpayers.

What would be the modern inflation-adjusted value of one denarius today?
My guess: one-half of a sheaf of wheat and a goat skin.
Jesus advised his followers to pay their taxes.
Certainly all the justification needed for &quot;right to work (for peanuts)&quot; states.
Strom Thurmond got left off the &quot;shameful tradition of illegitimate babbies&quot; list.
About a million bitcoins
I just read that as &quot;be fearful and multiply&quot;. Which also works.
If Swanson had a business, I bet none of his workers would show up until quitting time.

That would have been an artful dodge.

By birth, neither.
The money of the Roman imperialists. Commie Jesus should never have approved.
It&#039;s not a metaphor -- it&#039;s a simile. Which is really, really hard to ignore, even for a fuckwit like Swanson.
Sadly, a denarius doesn&#039;t go as far as it used to
