Well, Dale, look at what they were mining. Sunshine. Anybody can tell you that is hard stuff to sell, as it doesn't last, and there is plenty for free. It's like air and water. sure people put it in bottles and sell it for time, but people catch on after a while. There were two main factors in the decline. For one, people were blowing their product in all the wrong places, i.e. up keister chutes, and it was being wasted. In addition as they went deeper, the ore of the product, Shineite, was giving a lower and lower yield. A pail of the rock would barely shine enough to read a dime novel by. As more and more people are being born with striped suits and black wingtips and their greater wisdom is becoming apparent, it is plain that we should follow the tablets that they are able to bring down from the mountain. These tablets, so carved, say that if some peasant boy should find something his ancestors used to value, that it should be left for the Oracles to examine, that they should bring it to the greater good of the people. Should the people from Talahassie in the name of anyone, or the peasant himself, try to make good of it, they should be rebuked, and the good be delivered unto the people who shall acclaim the Oracles, and appease the gods of the environment. (Section 21, Item II, subsection 1.02-B) The various gods have been deprecated and it is now recognized that there is only one god, and he is Of the Environment and he is good, although no man voted for him, and lo, he has one Prophet-of-the-Oracles, and his name is Loia. Loia says the things he should, that the people respect him. He goes among men, as a man, and his office is in the great City, where all is Holy whose name means to clean oneself, and that is Wash-in-'t-wan. (Lord be Praised - and merciful of Taxes.) The people wishing to make prophet of themselves have been so instructed by Loia through his loyal followers to go forth and cure cancer, and to write their secret thoughts on paper and to bring these to the great Hall of the Patent. And therefore to deliver up these thoughts to the friends of Loia of the Oracle for the greater good. It is the wish of Loia that easy money be left for Loia so that he can feed the poor, a trying task. The goods minds of the nation must spend their time to cure what-can't-be-cured - the cancer. It will keep them busy. If anyone break this law of Loia he be delivered up to the Environment and his riches will be despoiled. From The Law of Money and Who is Allowed to Make of It B.
