Hey MessyBear:

I hope you understand I ain't for chipping people either. In fact, when I first invested human implantation was only a hope on their part. I just wanted the skinny. FDA approval only came last year I think. And there remains some controversy about the sudden reversal in FDA policy, due to health concerns the company doesn't speak of.

Additionally, I will never prosper from my purchase as I too have objections to profiting from certain types of trade.

Unfortunately, I must agree with you that most of humanity are marks, myself included. Knowing you're being played in a fixed game ... well you know.

Y'know, this is only the second year I've been raising critters. I quite like it most days. Just for us, no economics, though I would love that some day. Haven't even ate any as yet. But it's not just humans that are spiteful. Believe it or not rabbits are quick to adopt pissy attitudes, which sometimes is manifested in their aiming for you, literally. My ducks though, at feeding time, will waggle their tail feathers, and gentlely nibble the hem of my clothing, shoe strings or socks tops as if saying cmon ol man we need some stuff worth nibblin. So yeah, I get ya. In my youthful years I use to love to track mountain streams to their source. Money is nothing but a necessary medium.

Keep cherishin that joy, like you so often do.
