The Legend of Raspberry-Almond Scone

Man’s attempt to create order in his life, by making security the primary measure of his daily needs, leads to a life lived in fear of change, in fear of the unknown. The greatest threat to mankind’s advancement is the mortgage and the career. No great discovery, no great art, no great endeavor was ever undertaken by a man with a mortgage and a steady job with a promotion two years away. The propertied class loves and despises the mortgage because it creates both a stable society for them to rule over, but also one that deprives them of their rents and thus greater wealth and power over the masses. The greatest profits can be made from those with little, and the least from those with much. No one with a mortgage throws a cobblestone through a shop window and demands equality, no one with a mortgage goes on a 12 day debauch. The free man, the unafraid man, does not demand bread and charity, he demands equality and cheap beer.

With those musings in mind, I have decided to start writing the children’s book I have talked about for years: The Legend of Raspberry-Almond Scone.
