1. Good one.

I love Dilbert.

[MindPilot]

2. Yeah, that is pretty much it. n/t

[onehandle]

3. Corporation interplay is the definition of Capitalism?

No it isn't.

[alfredo]

4. It needs a level of trust to operate. If the trust is gone, then it won't work.

[glitch]

5. bingo. guess it's back to barter. thanks for posting, simple and perfect. k & r

[alfredo]

6. I never stopped bartering. It's an art we must never lose.

[glitch]

9. That's good. I am new to it in practice. It works just fine for what we need. :) nt

[alfredo]

15. I lived in an African/Arab culture. That's where I learned bartering.

[glitch]

18. That's interesting. Do you ever post stories about your experiences here on DU? nt

[alfredo]

21. Yeah. I've written extensively about the USS Liberty.

One of the pages shows the Valdez, a sister ship to the Liberty.

Here's some images by some degenerates I knew there:

Bear in mind, these ASA agents were supposed to be in the top ten percent of the military. Don't judge them by their looks.
the Beach Bum report has some very good images from Ethiopia. Look at the link below.

On the first page is an image of a Thompson Gazelle. We had one in our compound. He was spoiled rotten. When I left the snack bar I had some carrot sticks in my hand. The Gazelle wanted some but I was hungry. He wouldn't take no for an answer and started butting me.

You must realize that army fatigues had button flys. One of his butts placed one antler inside my fly. He started struggling to get free. I had no choice but to drop the carrot sticks to protect a precious asset. He got the carrot sticks, I kept my family jewels.

23. Lol! He knew what he was doing :) Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. nt

[alfredo]

24. My buddies enjoyed watching it.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

34. fyi--none of the pics come up on that...

:(

Would love to see, and would love to read your stories of the experience.

My hun, after Vietnam, was a deep diver working around the world. He was in Africa, Angola.... saw alot.

14. Spot on, Alfredo!

[destes]

31. Enforcement of contract agreements would help...........

.........or for that matter, access to timely judgment and rigorous enforcement for ANY civil issue would help. Access to what should be a basic right of citizenship is too often limited to only those who have the wealth, experience or spare time to game the legal system.

K & R

[Maat]

19. Hubby insisted that I read it today - it was great.

I, too, am learning about how to development a community (and cooperative behavior). I, too, am learning how to barter.

[alfredo]

26. Bartering is a lot of fun.

[ihavenobias]

22. Be a good use for a Pacer

With all those windows, the infamous bubble car would make a pretty good little green house.

[alfredo]

25. My wife had one. She was a cellist, so the Pacer was perfect.

You could also paint it black, attach ducting and a fan to it and run the ductwork to the house. It would make a good solar heater.

[sendero]

27. Finally..

... a good use for a Pacer!

[liberal N proud]

28. Dilbert always hits the target.

32. "And thus ended capitalism"

Once again, Scott nails the bear to the wall.

A little socialism, anyone?

[Blue_Tires]

33. lol

[AlbertCat]

35. AND THUS ENDED CAPITALISM

Wrong!

AND THUS ENDED UNREGULATED CAPITALISM


Why does everyone assume capitalism must be totally free of interference from some governing body?

I remember in one of my favorite 4 1/2 hour Dickens marathon movies "Little Dorrit" (soooo good with Alec Guiness and Derek Jacoby and the marvelous Joan Greenwood!....but NOT on DVD damnit!)...anyway, it has many musings on Capitalism, its rewards and its dangers. One character passionately intones "Be prosperous! Go and make money.... as much money as you honestly can!"

The key word of course is "honestly".

[alfredo]

36. Those who want no interference are the kind that got notes from the

teacher stating that little Johnny doesn't play well with others, or wonders why they are being punished for stealing the underclassmen's lunch money.

[valerief]

37. Of course, honestly doesn't mean legally, although the corporate-only socialists who

call themselves capitalists would disagree.

[alfredo]

38. They are royalty wannabes.
