in Haggling on Will Wilkinson
Much of the basis of the early Quaker fortunes in England was just this: they thought there was a divinely correct price - cost of materials plus your labor - and they sold for that to all comers. No haggling. This meant you could send your kid to buy stuff at the Quaker shop. Your maidservant. You weren't going to get screwed. They pioneered the one price, and they made huge amounts of money doing it.
So I guess this means the Quakers were the predecessors of Wal-Mart?!

in I Dated a Guest Worker on Will Wilkinson
This came in email last week, it is for your inner Kant:

A conversation with Jesus

Many times when I am troubled or confused, I find comfort in sitting in my back yard having a scotch and soda along with a quiet conversation with Jesus. This happened to me again after a particularly difficult day.
I said "Jesus, why do I work so hard?" And I heard the reply: "Men find many ways to demonstrate the love they have for their family.  You work hard to have a peaceful, beautiful place for your friends and family to gather."
I said: "I thought that money was the root of all evil."  And the reply was : "No, the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.  Money is a tool; it can be used for good or bad".
I was starting to feel better, but I still had that one burning question, so I asked it .  "Jesus", I said, "What is the meaning of life? Why am I here?"
He replied, "That is a question many men ask.  The answer is in your heart and is different for everyone.  I would love to chat with you some more, Senor, but now, I have to finish your lawn."
