5 As it's my unpleasant duty to inform you,
6 Since medical advances brought about through capitalism will eventually prove that it's not healthy to eat so many asheep intestines,
7 But not in time to save you,
8 bWhich is the way things go,
9 As you probably know.
CHAPTER 201 Anyway,
2 America will make so many new things that things will become the most important thing in life,
3 More important than ctradition,
4 More important than dhonor,
5 More important than elearning,
6 More important than fsocial justice,
7 And even more important than religion,
8 gUnless you count Capitalism as a religion,
9 Which you might as well,
10 Especially if you ever plan to understand America.
CHAPTER 211 The Americans will look at God's creation and see everything in it as the raw material of new things,
2 hNot to mention huge fortunes,
3 Which is why the Americans will discover how to turn everything in the world into something else,
4 That is, something else that can be sold for money.
5 For example, an American capitalist named iThomas Edison will turn magnets into electricity and pipe the electricity into people's homes through wires,

6 jFor money.
7 And when people have all this electricity running into their house, they will want to buy other things that use electricity,
8 Which is why Edison will also sell them electric light bulbs,
9 And electric floor lamps,
10 And electric toasters,
11 And electric ovens,
12 And electric heaters,
13 And maybe even kelectric shoes,
14 For all we know.
15 In fact, Edison will achieve such a complete victory in the American market for electricity that he will become well known throughout America as the Conqueror of Electricity,
16 Or General Electric for short.
CHAPTER 221 An American capitalist named lHenry Ford will look out across the driveways of America and decide that there should be a horseless carriage in every one of them,
2 mWith his name on it,
3 Which is why he will figure out how to take steel and rubber and nhorsehair and glass and tin and copper and wood and a whole bunch of baling wire,
4 And turn it into oan affordable motor-driven horseless carriage in practically no time flat,
5 pUsing something called an assembly line,
6 qWhich will pipe Ford motorcars into every home in America,
7 In practically no time flat,
