I feel like someone who steals crops is a thief. Someone who steals the seeds is in some other category that I can't quite place. People stealing bees are in this group.

- temple-ofthedog 8y agoI can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled, but it's on the table. The fire's cooking, and they're farmin' babies, while the slaves are all working. Blood is on the table and the mouths are all choking.

- soulofmischief 8y agoCrap. Well my comment is much less clever now. Thank you.
- rebuilder 8y agoWhy is stealing a sack of seeds in a different category than stealing a sack if carrots?
- contingencies 8y agoIt's like getting to the heart of the matter: the hard kernel, as it were. Stealing from the hardworking proletariat their tools of production, not just the product. Unplanted seeds are less well grounded, less down to earth, more compact and mobile, more pregnant with potential. Ripe for transformation in to a deniable alternate assets as nuts to butter. Regardless, having all your bees in one basket isn't the smartest strategy.
