TDS Time Machine: Resident Expert John Hodgman

Whoa, John, what do you have against the American farmer? Are you some kind of East Coast elitist? What do you drink, Bud Light? Think about it, John. Under this system, the least privileged among us can charge the most for their most precious harvest. What? How? How? In what way? Well, you pay more for organic eggs, don't you? Well, congratulations, homeless people.

Under my new labeling laws, you may now call yourselves free range. Suddenly, even the lowliest hobo has half a million dollars sloshing around in his rotting torso. Why, he can cash in his kidney for a new flat screen TV. Maybe a lung for a Prius. Or his other kidney for a dialysis machine. Or better yet, mortgage his whole lower body for a condominium.

Really? Monstrous, John? Yes. I think it's quite beautiful. I'm sure you do. I mean, finally, we'll live in a world where a person's value isn't determined by what kind of car they drive or how much money they have in the bank. That's what's in here.

I see you're grasping the concept. You see, chimps and humans share 96% of the DNA. But crucially, not the 4% that is sexually attractive to priests. I see. Interesting.
