Fortunately, we’re in a country where one has the opportunity to increase one’s affluence. Self-determination isn’t easy, and the results aren’t always as good as we’d like them to be, but it beats the alternative.
When people start running down capitalism, I can only remind them of this quote: “Capitalism is the greatest wealth creating system in history.” says Karl Marx
There is this to say about Santa Claus: He’s a unifying force. Even the corners of the culture who are outraged by participation medals are pretty sure that whatever they got from Santa Claus, they deserved; that whatever anybody gets from Santa Claus, they deserve.
It’s kind of cute that Caulfield is either faking or really still sees Santa as real. However I do like his evaluation assessment of gifts gotten in relation to the naughty/nice ratios observed. It doesn’t seem to matter.

He’s already on to it. I’m a big fan of making the expensive gifts from you. How else are you going to explain another kid getting more from Santa?

I somehow didn’t figure that Caufield was THAT self aware.

Ok, Caulfield has the flag of Norway on his tuque (toque, we already had that discussion…). What’s that all about?
