When my car screws up, I find that replacing the plugs, or cleaning  
the cap and rotor, or getting rid of the old fuel filter gets me  
moving down the road again. Ignoring the specific failure and  
focussing instead on the stupidity of the internal combustion engine  
or the failure to develop mass transit or how ennobling it would be if  
the paint was maroon, gets me nowhere. But it does keep me from  
getting dirt under my nails and bruises on my knuckles. When I yawn,  
it's from having actually worked. I think your yawn was misplaced and  
trivial. Robbery is robbery, whether it's by capitalists, socialists,  
communists or breatharians.
