It's capitalism that's lifted us out of the misery and continues to do so. Many people in the third world would disagree with your remark. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y-E6sQ9DvI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VaHmgoB10E @ XenoSilvano “Holding the human race back”?

The monetary system is a very intransigently fowled system which is in actuality holding the human race back. eh, I don’t think that’s legal.

Making art to make comments on the value of the art is now officially a cliche, albeit an expensive one.

I remember when I was a kid (a loooooong time ago) one teacher got on to a bunch of my classmates about putting coins on the railroad tracks and letting the train flatten them. Anyway she said it was illegal. I am neither supporting or rejecting what he did but isn’t there some sort of law making it illegal to damage money, at least in the U.S.?
