The Greedy Capitalist: David Veksler's Homepage :: Archives

My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute.-- Ayn Rand

Bake Sale Anyone?

SMU shuts down race-based bake sale.
The Texas A&M chapter of the YCT is planning the same thing in November.

"A sign said white males had to pay $1 for a cookie. The price was 75 cents for white women, 50 cents for Hispanics and 25 cents for blacks.
[...]
The group sold three cookies during its protest, raising $1.50. "

Remember that exercise in elementary school, where you tried to figure out how many ways you could make a dollar with coins?

So, some of the combinations could have been:

- 6 Samuel Jackson Specials
- 2 Judy Garland Chewies
- 3 Viva La Mexico Pasteles
- 1 Hombre Blanco & either 2 Denzel Washingtons or 1 Cesar Chavez

And I'm already bored.

I hope they don't spend that $1.50 all in one place.

Here are some more fun ones I'm making up on the spot, not necessarily related to affirmative action but certainly politically incorrect:

--Jews pay $1 plus 10% interest on each cookie
--After standing in line for hours, Marxists take money from their neighbor to pay for the cookie, and regardless of the price the Marxist pays (or rather, doesn't pay), the Marxist grumbles about the evil capitalist stealing profits from the laborer. The Marxist then must share his cookie with everyone else around him but blames the capitalists for it.
--Capitalists pay the lowest price for the best quality cookie and never have to stand in line.
--Muslims go blow themselves up defiance of the evil Americans baking cookies
