A point that Nancy Jiles brought up this morning that struck me. She was originally thinking what they hell do people need to loot Nikes and jeans and such for. People who've lost everything need shoes, need clothes.

But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce?
