Let’s play the Anarchy In Your Head version of Family Feud! Name things that paper is good for. I’ll start us off.
“Writing down a grocery list”
DING!
“Establishing the Supreme Law of the Land”
X — BZZZZ!
“Protecting human rights!”
X X — BZZZZ!
Place your answers in the comments.
Origami!
Doodling on it!
starting fires in the grill
i know, i know… money!
Wiping my backside, if it’s soft enough.
turbo, you are incorrect! Paper is no good for money.
Rolling a joint.
Umm… recording crackpot manifestos? Oh, and wrapping presents (a belated “Happy Birthday,” Dale!)…
Creating contracts between 2 individuals
Making books.
writing laws to abolish all immorality!
XXX ooohhh.
Drawing comics about anarchism.
Wiping your ass!
In fact, I hereby request two copies of the US Constitution. One to take a dump on, and one to wipe my ass with.
Making a dunce hat to put on the heads of people who actually believe that said list of arbitrary claims by mercantilists has any moral power!
Slim, I just wanted to mention? A contract between two sovereigns is the agreement itself. You know how there’s the handshake verbal contract? All the paper does is record and document agreement to the contracted terms. A similar documentation could be obtained by taking a video record of the event now.
In the spirit of the comic, I will say that paper is really good for printing out false and misleading advertisements. Some people seem to believe if it’s written on a piece of paper, it couldn’t possibly be a lie!
And making little paper umbrellas to put in your drink. Those are always fun. Unless some protected industry decided to use benzene or mercury in the production process.
