You know how old people are always saying things like “What this country needs is a good war” to combat America’s tendency toward overconsumption and overpopulation?
What if this economical meltdown is just that? Is this just one of those Adam Smith* invisible hand of the market things, but this time people are supposed to starve to death because they have no home because they have no job because there are no jobs? And then they die off (we die off?) and whoevers left is totally hunky-dory.
(And what if the so-called invisible hand of the market is God?)**
(Well, I know what – if so then I am in a lot of trouble!)
(*Oh come on, you know I had to look that up on Wikipedia! I get all those economists mixed up – as if I’d heard of any not referenced on The Colbert Report and in fact I originally thought this was a French guy’s concept)
