Blank Doll was wondering.

It seems amusing to me that economics exhort us to be rational then people appeal to our sense of humanity and morals. Fair trade, why ought I support fair trade if it's going to cost more to me than free trade? Why do I care what happens to another person (and by extension the good of society) if it does not affect my individual pleasure? Why would I want to pay more tax just for the sake of social redistribution if I'm not going to get a larger share than that which I pay? Why wouldn't I want to take advantage of the system to enrich myself?

Don't you love the human mind? Such a complicated thing for the simplest of ends.

Il pleut comme un vache qui pisse. The things we learn in French school.

C'est tout.
