And you're too much of a pussy to cash it in, and that's bullshit.
I mean, you're sittin' on a winnin' lottery ticket. Cuz tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'll be 50, and I'll still be doin' this shit. Fuck you, you don't owe it to yourself man, you owe it to me. Oh, come on! What? Why is it always this? I mean, I fuckin' owe it to myself to do this or that. That's not a threat, that's a fact, I'll fuckin' kill ya. Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way but, in 20 years if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house, watchin' the Patriots games, workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill ya. We'll be neighbors, have little kids, take 'em to Little League up at Foley Field. What do I wanna way outta here for? I'm gonna live here the rest of my fuckin' life. And you'll be servin' my kids fries at a drive-thru on our way to a skiing trip. See, the sad thing about a guy like you is, in 50 years you're gonna start doin' some thinkin' on your own and you're going to come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life: one, don't do that, and two, you dropped 150 grand on a fuckin' education you could have got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library! Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you, is that your thing, you come into a bar, read some obscure passage and then pretend - you pawn it off as your own, as your own idea just to impress some girls, embarrass my friend? "Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth"? You got that from Vickers' "Work in Essex County," page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social. That's gonna last until next year you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about, you know, the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization. Then you're going to be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740.
You're gonna be convinced of that 'till next month when you get to James Lemon. You're a first-year grad student you just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably. My contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War, the economic modalities, especially in the southern colonies, could be most aptly described as agrarian pre-capitalist. I was just hoping you might give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the southern colonies.
