...my nutty mother in law used to be in an assisted living facility. They had all kinds of activites for the seniors there. One of em was their annual garden.
Once a year they would have a guy with a tractor come out with a tractor and plow up a big garden and fertilize it and get it ready for planting. Then folks who wanted to putz with it would sign up for rows that would be theirs to grow whatever they wanted. Lots of em signed up and worked out there in that garden. They planted and watered and cut weeds and all that. When harvest time came around they would go pick some for themselves and they would pick some and give it to their neighbors who were not healthy enough to work in the garden.
Every year there would be a big squabble because a lot of folks who were healthy enough to work in the garden but didn't would pick the crops. Not only did they get enough for themselves, but they got it for their families when they came to visit.
Finally somebody put up a sign. "If you didn't plant, don't pick!" That sir is the essence of capitalism.
Liberals are like a "Slinky". Totally useless, but somehow ya can't help but smile when you see one tumble down a flight of stairs!
