When did I ever say I’ve rejected money and other material things?

Well that’s super! *gives you a very patronizing pat on the head*

You sound like Jesus. And I find that heart warming. It’s not just un-American, it’s plain Christian of you. I hate material things too. Like cable access.

Think of what the world would be like without money though. We could trade with wheat! Yeah, or maybe we could just trade with whatever surplus we managed to create. So in order to trade Bob for his surplus of cotton with my surplus of corn, I have to go through Martha, who has a surplus of cow shit. Cow shit is what Bob really wants, but Martha wants aluminum foil, so I have to get aluminum foil with my surplus of corn first. I’ll go to Kermit.

You starting to get the picture?

Money represents corn, wheat, cotton, television sets, internet access, Radio Head CDs, Alec Baldwin… all these things that we love. It’s just that one day someone with an IQ above 65 got the idea of standardizing the currency so we didn’t have to trade with 60 different people just to get underwear.

But you don’t like CDs or Alec Baldwin, because you’ve rejected those trite, material things. You’ve rejected money.
