Which Reminds Me

Why all this silly chatter about killing the golden goose, or the goose that laid the golden eggs? I really don't understand where that comes from. I really am not the maker of fables but anyway you Italians are the ones who worship the silver goose as a god, while we Americans would prefer to eat the bird, although here actually we would prefer to feast on turkey, truth be told, and leave silly street processions to those idolatrous Catholics whose understanding is not yet perfected. Perhaps you would prefer silvery jewelry to gold because it complements yourself, or you are invested in silver mines, while I would prefer gold, not that I have any investment there. It's just that, well, to each his own. Freedom means that you should not be allowed to hold me hostage to your silly points. Our culture suggests to us through magazine pictures and ads that we need jewelry, but we can live without it, truth be told. We can live without gold or silver but it is not possible to live without money, the circulation that gives us the power to buy and sell. Without circulation we would just die.
