The Sunday comics and money are both printed on paper, but one makes people laugh and the other
makes them cry. The actual paper that money is printed on is pretty much worthless—not much
different from the stuff used to manufacture Kleenex. In reality, money only has value because
people agree to view it as valuable. The dollar, the euro, and the yen are nothing more than creations of
men used to trade for services, but arguing about the real value of money isn't going to put food on the
table. The world's system of trade is based on money, and we all have to use it to survive.
