Now that story, bk is fascinating. It went a long way to get to its main point (at least that's how I see it), that point being: Leave all creative energies uninhibited. Merely organize society to act in harmony with this lesson. Let society's legal apparatus remove all obstacles the best it can. Permit these creative know-hows freely to flow. Have faith that free men and women will respond to the Invisible Hand. This faith will be confirmed. I, Pencil, seemingly simple though I am, offer the miracle of my creation as testimony that this is a practical faith, as practical as the sun, the rain, a cedar tree, the good earth.

Reminds me of my oft quoted self-point of, "How can 545 people in Washington hope to compete with the genius of 113,000,000?"

Love the story. Love the point.
