Yup, we’d have Usenet.



I still have Usenet. Don't use it much any more (mainly to download 
Doctor Who episodes), but I've still got an active account.

Ayup, capitalism and monopolistic practices won out

Monopoly is derived from The Landlord's Game created by Lizzie Magie in the 
United States in 1903 as a way to demonstrate that an economy that rewards 
individuals is better than one where monopolies hold all the wealth,[1] and to 
promote the economic theories of Henry George—in particular his ideas about 
taxation.[3] The Landlord's Game had two sets of rules originally, one with 
taxation and another on which the current rules are mainly based. When Monopoly 
was first published by Parker Brothers in 1935, it did not include the less 
capitalistic taxation rule, which resulted in a more aggressive game. Parker 
Brothers was eventually absorbed into Hasbro in 1991. The game is named after 
the economic concept of monopoly—the domination of a market by a single entity.

Re: PESOs (4) - Reading Terminal Market

[Paul Stenquist]

The point of any game is enjoyment. In this case with others. 
It’s true that the game on which Monopoly was based — The Landlord’s Game — was 
meant to teach economic lessons but that purpose was long ago abandoned on the 
trash heap of Victorian moral excessiveness.

Larry to be clear -- the streets are in Atlantic City - the the 4 
railroad lines are real, too  .. Reading is a town in PA - you can go 
ther by rain from PHilly.  The
The B Rail , Short Line adn Pennsylvania Railroad are the other 4 you 
can own.  the B stands for Baltimore and Ohio Railroad which was an 
important one for the Union sodliers during the Civil war.


I played Monopoly  years ago and as  a kid thought it was fun but as I 
learned more about what a monopoly was in a real sense I never wanted to 
play it again..

You can probably figure out why :-)

LIked your snaps from there -- I found it a bit challenging too when I 
was in Philly visiting you.. but I loved the place! - You are saying it 
was busy but from the shots you took it looks pretty empty compared to 
when I was there on the summer of 2014..


HOpe you got some good eats as well as your photos.

The photos you posted were quite nice, I can see why so many people would want 
to go there.

PESOs (4) - Reading Terminal Market

[Rick Womer]

The photo class I joined wandered Philly’s Reading Terminal Market last week. 
The Market has existed since the early 1890s, on street level below the 
Philadelphia terminal of the long-defunct Reading Railroad (now part of the 
Philadelphia Convention Center). The market is vast and busy, and I found 
shooting there challenging.
