Rabbi, we Gadarenes br Are not ascetics; we are fond of wealth and possessions. br Love, as You call it, we obviate by means br Of the planned release of aggressions. br br We have deep faith in properity. br Soon, it is hoped, we will reach our full potential. br In the light of our gross product, the practice of charity br Is palpably non-essential. br br It is true that we go insane; br That for no good reason we are possessed by devils; br That we suffer, despite the amenities which obtain br At all but the lowest levels. br br We shall not, however, resign br Our trust in the high-heaped table and the full trough. br If You cannot cure us without destroying our swine, br We had rather You shoved off.
