Unfortunately the scientists use the fact that they are tabooed the use of magic as an excuse to make destitute and even murder the ones to whom it is appropriate and are the original owners. Except for Harry Chartrand and I vote that we give him a honory art's doctorate from the Amazing Randi, Dreamworks University. Randi, as I'm sure you know has been going around the world debunking all of those non-artists who are trying to use and abuse our stuff for personal gain. Maybe we could get the Copyright office involved as well. Got to get back to work. Thanks for the fun. Hi Spence. Good to see your name.

p.s. unfortunately Randi is afraid of economists.

But they aren't worried about running out of air because they were

into view -- just like magic! So Daddy Economist starts breaking up his
furniture and burning it in the small stove.Now the Economists must sit on the floor, but heck, it's better than the
alternative: dying. Then one day, SURPRISE!!! All the furniture is nearly
gone. But Daddy Economist isn't worried because he believes a substitute
will magically appear. So when the furniture is gone, he starts ripping the
boards off the walls of his cabin and burning them in the stove to keep
warm.Now the Economists must sit on the floor very close to the stove, but heck,
it's better than the alternative: dying. Then one day, SURPRISE!!! All of
the cabin that will burn is gone. But Daddy Economist isn't worried. He
starts pulling the clothes off his family and burning them in the stove to
keep warm.Now the Economists are forced to stand right next to the stove and
constantly turn, but heck, it's better than the alternative: dying. Then in
a few hours, SURPRISE!!! All the Economists' clothes have been burnt in the
stove. But Daddy Economist isn't worried because ....
