Do I have this right? Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Let a man get hungry enough,

[Cannikin]

he can pay a private company to teach him to fish. Oh, and we need to lower taxes on fishing pole manufacturers. They're a big campaign contributor.

Does that just about sum up the situation?

1. Build a man a fire and he'll be warm for a few hours.

Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

3. Build a man a fire, he's warm for the day; set a man on fire, he's warm for the rest of his life

Give a man a fish, and he's fed for the day; teach a man to fish and he's fed for the rest of his life. Teach a man to fish for trout, and he'll starve.

16. Don't forget to charge him for access to the fishing pond.

And he has to buy bait from the Capitalist controlling access to the water, can't bring his own from home.

18. "Monsanto GM Bait Worms" will be the standard.

Users of organic worms WILL be prosecuted.

[Cannikin]

19. hahaha I was wondering how to work Monsanto into it. They are my favorite evil company these days.

[surrealAmerican]

22. ... and remember: the water quality is unregulated ...

... so the fish might not be safe to eat.

[Cannikin]

23. The water is probably flammable from nearby fracking.

[BiggJawn]

26. But the Invisible Hand of the Free Market will make it all OK.

If people get sick from eating the polluted fish, they stop fishing there, pond goes out of business.

In about FORTY YEARS! (it'll take that long for people to make the connection)

In the meantime, the pond owner will have grabbed the money and run to someplace where he can buy regulated, inspected fish from the EU.

[Bigmack]

17. Fuck with a man's fishing, and he'll go for your throat! nt

[Rex]

20. Just make sure you know where that fish came from might have toxins

or large amounts of radiation...which is okay, because for a buck fifty the pole manufactures will sell you some iodine pills.

[alarimer]

21. Or this.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he'll sit in the boat and drink beer all day.

25. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach man to fish and he will wipe out

entire species.
