Dr. Utopia’s ISMs.

The Grauniad’s Comment is Free site is the kind of mildewed corner of the British mind where they’re still arguing the merits of capitalism (for fear that anyone would be permitted to practice it, as if they could control the black market in the CCCP.)

Their virtuoso commenter, it turns out is a contrarian to their views with the handle “MrPikeBishop.” MrPikeBishop a.k.a. Frank Fisher is the kind of reader who makes a blog. He isn’t a drive-by shooter, but goes where he disagrees to liven up the joint, and get a few of the hackles up, in this case, on the Sesame Street of political ideological dialogue.

I was thinking of making you guess who was in pole position, but it's just too easy: MrPikeBishop has posted 2,407 comments on the site (and only a few of those were promoting his own blog), putting him way ahead of his nearest rival, altrui, at 1,565, closely followed by Szwagier with 1,522.

Lovely stuff. Especially when you consider how painful it is to try to explain to a leftist that farmers DO need a profit motive to produce food. All hail Pikey!

So – in the interest of educating the previously programmed, we have found the following as an aide. It’s a fillum, so it can be readily understood even by a product of a higher education on Sociology. Granted, it may be over the heads of the average leftist who would dispose of some rights here or there in the interest of “fair trade,” (doesn’t that just sound PERFECTly FAIR!,)but it might sink in when they’re a little older, standing in line to use their socially “fair” food ration cards.

Roll ‘em.:



When trying to teach the most fragile egos about democracy and capitalism, speak slowly and use small words and again - remember speak slowly.
