Eh, Jacob and I shall barter for our goods; as done in the old country

Good thing the last two generations still around have been milking the goats and not playing Gears of War.  No opening their minds to blasting folks all day long.  We're populated by scores of frustrated, greedy bastards in a me me me culture.  Oh yea and lying is an art of the times.

Sure, if you find yourself in Hidden Valley making salad dressing and a lil' Amish woman wants to trade for a hot pecan pie, sure, wheel n' deal. But despite the Family Channel's version of history and humanity the only fair barter looks like a Mexican standoff and if ya flinch, ya leak.

 There may be a time when an enlightened philosophy of harmony finds it's way to mankind but so far it's a no-go. Expect the worse and you won't be disappointed. Or dead.
