BLOOM: Generally speaking we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market, or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money because they're convinced that there is a free lunch. We know this is largely about power, that it's an adults only, no limit game. We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun. And we get it that if you want a friend, you should get a dog.
Interesting, I always thought our country was founded with the premise of free markets, and that is part of what helped us rise to be a world leader. I must have been subject to defective history books.
I'll leave the guns = political power statement alone.
