“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men,
we didn't have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents.

Without a prison, there can be no delinquents.

We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.

When someone was so poor that he couldn't afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift.

We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property.

We didn't know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth.

We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians,
therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.

We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don't know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.”

It's amazing that some people will die on the hill of Orcs or other fictional beings being evil and yet when it comes to actually existing corporations are like "there's actually a lot of nuance here, ok?"

ROFL.

This is it, this is the one. Pack it in folks.

Every year I get older, I think more and more that Danny Kaye's character is exactly right, and what the hell am I doing here anyway?
