coberst,

I don't see the word "capitalism" in your "explanation".
Why not ? ( Its okay coberst, any question directed to you is doomed to the fog of oblivion).

Presumably by "common pool of knowledge" you mean that we haven't got the "benefit" of your Readers Digest compendium of snippets from Lakoff, Becker et al. Its all a bit biblical don't you think ...you've substituted "the Good Book" with the "the Good Books" from which you issue the "lesson for today".
