We are pleased to present a very interesting communication from CAE PITHAROULIS, 
Athens, Greece:

People are Valuable

The Haves were having trouble with the Have-Nots. Really big trouble this time; the Really Big Haves were sore at the really down-and-out Have-Nots over really big dough. So they called the Dogs of War.

Since this was a really important case, the Biggest Dog of War himself came. He listened, returned to his domain, called the Really Big Dog Enforcer and told him: "There's some piss-poor Have-Nots down in the lower hemisphere. Owe forty billion dollars. Want to squelch. Go collect.

The Really Big Dog Enforcer went, returned empty-handed. He approached the Really Big Dog of War, his tail between his legs.

"They have nothing to give!"

"Who said, ‘give’? Take!”

"They have nothing to take."

The Really Big Dog of War barked, "Take their houses - take their carts. Take their donkeys."

"We took those last time."

"Take their water from their wells and cisterns."

"Undrinkable. Too dirty even to wash with."

Now the Really Big Dog of War was screaming. "Take the air they breathe,

doggone it!"

"It's the most polluted in the world. Won't do for our dog noses. I tell you. They have nothing. They are worth nothing. Let me enforce. Kill them all. Let them rot in the sun."

The Really Big Dog of War looked at his minion in disdain. "Dummox. You'll never go higher than Enforcer. Use your head, Dog. Have they not organs for transplants for the Really Big Haves? Have they not flesh and bone we can chop into pet food for the Really Great? Won't there be leftovers to be ground into chicken feed for the Greats? "Kill them and let them rot in the sun. You dumb hound, PEOPLE ARE VALUABLE!"
