I once got into an argument about environmental and economic issues with a gentleman named Mr. Marx.

I am not making this up.

Mr. Marx is an actual 31 year-old left-wing "organizer" in Washington, D.C. He has been arrested many times during protests and you can search for news stories about him on the Internet. "Marx" "Washington" "Protester" etc.

Mr. Marx looked at me with a straight face and said "Zero sum game? I have heard that expression before. What does that mean?"

I was interrupted by someone else before I could tell him that a "zero sum game" is one in which players make payments only to each other, one player's loss is the other player's gain, and the total amount of "money" available remains constant.

To this day, I still wonder if Mr. Marx ever learned what a "zero sum game" is.

Unbelievable. That level of ignorance should be certifiable.
