Capitalism at work right here in Lexington, KY:
1. Big Blue Madness tickets (which cost no money but cost three nights in a tent on UK's campus) are going for more than three hundred dollars for a pair on eBay and craigslist. I would never pay this much to watch a "practice" which is more like a run out and introduction of players. I would probably not pay more than $10 for a lower level ticket. But that means that someone who truly values seeing the Cats play together the earliest that is allowed by the NCAA, someone who values these tickets more than I do, can see his or her beloved team take the court.
2. A service providing delivery of male contraceptive devices has sprung up in Lexington and will deliver 2 of these products for the measly cost of $6. When you think about the monetary cost to raise a child and the social cost to raise a child that is unplanned and finally the fact the the University of Kentucky provides free male contraceptives in it's hospital and student health complex. Not to mention the prevention of sexually transmitted disease.
3. Capitalism: A Love Story opened in theaters last weekend (September 24th). The movie has already grossed $4,849,067 in one week. His past three films grossed $24,540,079 (Sicko), $119,194,771 (Fahrenheit 9/11), and $21,576,018 (Bowling for Columbine).
