Ferengi Rules Of Acquisition

I like #218:

Always know what you're buying.

So much truth about human nature there.
So sad the pursuit of the Precious; its glow blinds and enraptures men, much like the succubus.
Juxtapose this against Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

"What's so funny about peace, love, and understanding?"
It IS funny: they are conscious constructed ideals that mostly go against the survival instinct of humans.
Yet, their very construction and the intellect that constructed them is hope.

" 'Cause its a dog eat dog"
Those base instincts exploited by the Precious.

And wtf, who uses a Liquid as currency?
Maybe to illustrate it's elusiveness, as you cannot grasp it?

I want THIS kind of Liquid.
Not only could I grasp it, I would Grip it and Rip it:

#8 is also good:

Small print leads to large risk.

Too much reading...it hurts my brain!
