Supply and Demand?

Oh man, those people are so poor they don't even have arms!

Is it because gas prices are an arm and a leg?

"That wealth and greatness are often regarded with the respect and admiration which are due only to wisdom and virtue; and that the contempt, of which vice and folly are the only proper objects, is often unjustly bestowed upon poverty and weakness, has been the complaint of moralists in all ages." Adam Smith (1790). The Theory of Moral Sentiments, sixth edition, bk. I, ch. III, para. 1.

Would you please put this behind a cut? It's making my LJ friends page unreadable. kthxbye.

I think these are the first two I've ever done.

I only have one more idea, but its beyond my drawing capabilities.

[yesthattom.livejournal.com]

Is it the wide width? What percent smaller would make it workable?

[tcb.livejournal.com]

*laugh*

I loved both of them.

[tgeller.livejournal.com]

It works well now, thanks!

My 12" iBook screen could tolerate it being a *little* wider, but I think it's good policy to keep the width to 600 pixels or fewer.

Yes, thats the quote and to this day most people believe that Barnum said it (even me at one time) but he did not.
