Random thoughts on the blue highways.
You never know what you will find on the blue highways. Particularly when the choice at an intersection is controlled by the roll of a die. About the only rule is that highway onramps don't count as an intersection. You don't even have to roll the die. If one road looks interesting, go for it.

Morality of Consumption
The Religion of the Market - Beliefnet Forums: "As one trained in Economics, it is not clear that consumption is particularly immoral. Whatever is consumed, is produced, and the producers derive economic benefit from the production. They in turn consume the production of others, who benefit right down to the peasants driven off their subsistence farms in China."
The parasite feeds on the host without benefit to the host, and usually to the detriment of the host. There is no consumption to control or equitably distribute without the efforts of the producers. The parasites whine that the producers are unfair in not giving away their products to those unable or unwilling to produce, themselves. It is the parasite that lacks the morality required to be a free, productive human being.
